Scientists trained AI to predict gene activity, a potentially powerful tool

While ChatGPT learned the grammar of language, GET has learned underlying rules governing genes: how they are turned on or off like a light switch, or dialed up or down like a volume control. This complex process, known as gene expression, determines which proteins we make and whether we make them in the correct amounts

How AI is unlocking ancient texts — and could rewrite history

Artificial neural networks are being used to decipher ancient texts, from the classical stalwarts of Greek and Latin to China’s Oracle Bone Script, ancient divination texts written on cattle bones and turtle shells. They are making sense of archives too vast for humans to read, filling in missing and unreadable characters and decoding rare and lost languages of which hardly any traces survive.
