These companies are finding new ways to use AI and tech for security, health, and more
Even as the AI revolution moves toward agentic tools, there are still hosts of uses for more classical machine-learning and computing—particularly in healthcare. That’s where many of the AI and technology honorees of this year’s World Changing Ideas are operating—like MEand Mine and Expert Radiology—but not all of them. Others tackle the need to identify AI-created content (Copyleaks), explore the future of in-home robots (Humanoid), and focus on the future of clean energy (Fuze Energy). Read about all of them below. Winners AI Logic GenAI detection, CopyleaksSpeculating on whether someone used AI for writing can be fun and games, but for many professionals (and students submitting papers), it can be a serious accusation. AI Logic, a program from Copyleaks to detect AI-generated writing, is designed to make it clear whether or not a piece of text is written by AI—but more importantly, explain why and how confident it is. The software identifies commonly used AI phrases and checks if any part of the text is from other known AI-generated sources. It’s now integrated into many educational systems, giving teachers an easy way to monitor students’ work, and the company say it is processing 650,000 AI checks a day. AI-powered therapy support, Grow TherapyGrow, an online therapy platform with more than $1 billion in revenue, launched its AI notetaker to cut its therapists’ recordkeeping time so they can focus on connection with patients. The new software captures the visit so therapists can approve notes after instead of focusing on them during the session, reducing providers’ time spent on documentation by 70%. The AI service also helps patients complete journaling between sessions—something more than 35,000 Grow patients do as part of their mental health work—which can generate quick summaries to serve as a starting point for the next session.
