• For the 1st time in history, 2 AI robots negotiated a legally binding, non-disclosure agreement with no human involvement.  Here's what we know:
• The AI robots were created by Luminance, a law tech firm
• They went back and forth on the details in a cold and calculating way
• The negotiations took minutes and the contract was finished, awaiting the signatures
• The AI robots are trained on a data base of 150 million legal documents
• Will AI robots take over the legal profession?  Elon Musk says no job is safe and we will eventually live in a jobless utopia
• Does my AI lawyer need a law degree?
• The world's 1st robot lawyer was sued for not having one, but I'm sure the new AI robots will negotiate themselves a deal.

2023 HOTTEST IN 125,000 YEARS

• European Union scientists say 2023 will go down in the history of the world as the hottest in 125,000 years.  Here are some key facts:
• The startling findings come from the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)
• 2023, thanks to the continuing rise of greenhouse gas emissions and El Nino, is the hottest year on record in 125,000 years
• 2023 CC events include extreme heatwaves in South America, floods that killed thousands in Libya and the worst wildfires in Canada's history
• The scientists say by rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, we could cut the rate of warming in half
• If you're wondering, like me, how they reached the 125,000-year level, E3S tapped into UN CC data that calculated temps based on ice cores, tree rings and coral deposits dating back that far.

MEDICINE TAKES FLIGHT

• Cleveland Clinic, which is one of the US' largest health care systems, will deploy drones to deliver prescriptions to its patients in 2025.  Some key facts:
• This is a technological first for a health care system with millions of patients
• Cleveland Clinic will start the drone delivery service with prescriptions
• The first prescription deliveries will be priority-needed medications and specialty medications
• It will then expand use of the drones for delivery of lab samplings, prescription meals, hospital-at-home services and medical/surgical supplies
• The drones fly autonomously
• They are small, electric, use little energy and are environmentally friendly
• Here's how it works:

1. Pharmacy technicians will load the prescription into the drone
2. Drone flies autonomously to the patient's home
3. Delivery droid takes the medicine to the patient's front door

• Drones are made by Zipline, which is partnering with Cleveland Clinic on this innovation
• This is medicine on the technological cutting edge being innovated by one of the world's greatest health care centers.
