NBA mock draft 2025: Grok AI predictions for the entire first round
NBA mock draft 2025: Grok AI predictions for the entire first round Show Caption Hide Caption Dwyane Wade shares thoughts on Dallas Mavericks getting first pick NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade shares his thoughts on the NBA and whether or not the Mavericks getting the first pick in the draft is a "coincidence." Sports Seriously The humans churning out NBA mock drafts and artificial intelligence are in agreement about Cooper Flagg. The Dallas Mavericks are going to take advantage of their lottery luck by making Flagg the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft on June 25. Everything after that, however, remains uncertain based on the latest projections. USA TODAY Sports asked Grok AI to run a simulation of every first-round pick during the 2025 NBA draft and it returned results by "synthesizing current mock draft trends, team needs, and prospect evaluations from various sources." There were a large number of expected picks, but also a few surprises that differed from the expert mock drafts, as well as previous NBA draft first-round simulations conducted using Google Gemini AI and Meta AI. Grok AI, for instance, has a different top-five than most and projects Duke to have another top-five pick in addition to Flagg. It also did not predict Jase Richardson to be chosen in the first round, despite a good chunk of human-made mock drafts that suggest otherwise. There were six international prospects among the top 30 picks by Grok AI, as well as college stars like Auburn's Johnni Broome and Florida's Walter Clayton Jr. Here's a breakdown of the 2025 NBA draft first-round picks made by a Grok AI simulation, as well as how to watch next month when the league's teams gather in Brooklyn to make their actual selections: NBA DRAFT 2025: Winners and losers after landscape-shifting college withdrawal deadline NBA draft 2025: AI predictions for every first round pick First-rounds picks and comments were generated by a Grok AI simulation of the 2025 NBA draft based on "synthesizing current mock draft trends, team needs, and prospect evaluations from various sources."

NBA mock draft 2025: Meta AI predictions for the entire first round
NBA mock draft 2025: Meta AI predictions for the entire first round Show Caption Hide Caption Dwyane Wade shares thoughts on Dallas Mavericks getting first pick NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade shares his thoughts on the NBA and whether or not the Mavericks getting the first pick in the draft is a "coincidence." Sports Seriously The 2025 NBA draft is less than a month away and the mock drafts are beginning to come into focus now that the league's early entry withdrawal deadline passed. It would be a stunner if Cooper Flagg isn't the No. 1 pick by the Dallas Mavericks on June 25, and there seems to be a consensus forming for the next selections below him. That includes the various AI platforms currently capable of weighing in on the NBA draft. USA TODAY Sports asked Meta AI to produce a simulation of every first-round pick during the 2025 NBA draft, and the top four selections went according to most recent NBA mock drafts and previous first-round simulations using Microsoft Copilot AI and Google Gemini AI. Flagg, Rutgers teammates Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, and Baylor one-and-done star VJ Edgecombe were all off the board quickly. After that, though, some of the choices by Meta AI veer from expected outcomes and other AI programs. Meta AI notably had Duke's Khaman Maluach falling out of the lottery and Michigan State's Jase Richardson falling out of the top 20. Auburn's Johnni Broome moved into a first-round slot and Missouri's Tamar Bates, currently No. 100 in ESPN's 2025 draft prospect rankings, also got an unlikely first-round nod. There was still a significant international presence of prospects from overseas and the college ranks. Here's a breakdown of the 2025 NBA draft first-round picks made by a Meta AI simulation, as well as how to watch when the league's teams gather in Brooklyn on June 25-26 to make their actual selections: NBA DRAFT 2025: Winners and losers after landscape-shifting college withdrawal deadline NBA draft 2025: AI predictions for every first round pick First-rounds picks were generated by a Meta AI simulation of the 2025 NBA draft.

Fitbit Owners Get Three Interesting New Features
Fitbit Charge 6 Reports of the imminent death of Fitbit may be misplaced, as Fitbit owners just got three new interesting features. The trio of features are part of Fitbit's Labs project, and they use Google Gemini AI to enhance the heath-related experience for Fitbit owners. Fitbit announced the upgrades on the Fitbit Community blog. And while one requires joining a waitlist, it sounds like these experimental extras could be worth checking out. They are dubbed the Medical Record Navigator, Symptom Checker and Unusual Trends. Let's dig in. Symptom Checker is the AI-enhanced version of what a doctor will often advise you not to do — searching the web for symptoms. Fitbit says it will ask a few follow-up questions after you start off describing your symptoms, to try to home in on some possible causes. This should, with any luck, avoid the web search effect where folks manage to convince themselves their slightest ailment may be down to a terminal condition. The goal is to help you work out if it's something that actually requires more research, or the help of a medical professional. Next up is Unusual Trends, which could potentially significantly increase the real-world smarts and usefulness of today's ordinary fitness trackers. Fitbit says this is used to recognize changes in stats you probably wouldn't ordinarily notice, even if you see them in a graph on the Fitbit app. That might be a change in your breathing rate, for example. Unusual Trends will inform you of the fact, while apparently not going as far as to suggest what might be the cause. I've often noticed correlations in my heart rate behaviour and HRV during and around bouts of illness, so this feature could act as a form of proof of reinforcement if you are feeling a little 'off' at any point. It's also an example of one of the more difficult areas of consumer wearable tech — not so much harvesting accurate stat data, but finding a way to make it useful for the average person. The final new Fitbit Labs feature is the one with a waitlist attached. And while it could prove super-useful, it arguably also has the least mainstream appeal. Medical Record Navigator lets you upload results and reports you've received from medical professionals, and it will analyze the data to provide digestible summaries of what they mean. Fitbit suggests you'll use this one to 'quickly understand complex medical terms and get a better understanding of your results.' To get access to these features, you need to opt in to Fitbit Labs under the You tab of the app and enable each Labs feature. Fitbit Labs is available to U.S. users, and Fitbit says some will require a Premium subscription.
