What happens when a company rushes its AI to the market? The story Reuters shared is about a machine-learning algorithm to assist ear, nose and throat specialists in surgeries.

It only proves that if companies can rush their untested products to the market without strong enough guardrails and regulations, incidents might occur. The full story: reuters.com/investigations…
