2. Latest Harvard Research: 80% of Initial Diagnoses Using AI Large Language Models are Wrong
On April 15th, a research team at Harvard Medical School evaluated the diagnostic capabilities of over 20 state-of-the-art AI Large Language Models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. The results showed that the error rate for "differential diagnosis" (identifying possible diseases) based on a patient's initial symptoms and signs was as high as 80%.
This study further showed that with more test results provided by the patient, the large model could reduce the failure rate of the "final diagnosis" to around 40%. Researchers stated that this means AI chatbots need sufficient patient information to make more accurate diagnoses; when patients cannot provide complete health test information, the results provided by AI are unreliable.
3. Anthropic Introduces Identity Verification Mechanism in Certain Claude Use Cases
According to an official website announcement, Anthropic has introduced an identity verification mechanism in certain Claude use cases to prevent abuse, enforce usage policies, and fulfill legal obligations. This process is powered by Persona, and users are required to submit a government-issued photo ID and may need to perform real-time selfie verification.
Anthropic states that the verification data is used only to confirm identity and is not used for model training, marketing, or advertising. If verification fails, users can retry multiple times within the process or submit a form for manual assistance. Accounts may be banned for repeated violations of usage policies, terms of service, registration from unsupported regions, or use by users under the age of 18.
Previous news: Anthropic received investment offers from multiple venture capital firms, with a valuation as high as $800 billion.

JPMorgan Chase CEO: AI is Not Just a Tool, It's a Threat On April 15th, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), stated on Tuesday that while artificial intelligence tools may ultimately help businesses defend against cyberattacks, at this stage, they actually make businesses more vulnerable.
“Artificial intelligence makes things worse and more difficult,” Dimon told analysts on Tuesday morning’s earnings call. “It does introduce additional vulnerabilities, and perhaps in the long run, it also provides better ways to strengthen ourselves.” These remarks indicate that artificial intelligence, a technology that businesses see as a productivity booster, has also evolved into a serious threat because it provides malicious actors with new ways to infiltrate technological systems.
Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell convened a meeting with bank CEOs to discuss the risks posed by Mythos, a cutting-edge AI model designed by Anthropic specifically for defensive cybersecurity workflows.

5.Lattice Announces Phase-Out Shutdown; Layer 2 Network Redstone to Cease Operations on May 16
On April 15th, Lattice, a blockchain game infrastructure team, announced that it will gradually shut down its business after five years of operation. Its Layer 2 network, Redstone, will cease operation on May 16th, 2026 at 07:59.
Lattice reminded users to withdraw funds before this deadline, especially assets in contracts such as Uniswap pools. After the shutdown, only L1 withdrawal contracts will be deployed for external account balance withdrawals; funds in contracts will be irrecoverable.
It is understood that Lattice was founded in 2021 and developed tools such as the MUD framework, the Redstone chain, Quarry, and Dozer, but failed to achieve a sustainable business model. The team used remaining funds for the final project, DUST Autonomous World, but the scale was insufficient to support the business, and they did not believe that VC financing was the right path.
