With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot going on in the genome editing field. Here’s our primer.
A theory… suggests that the largest of today’s LLMs are not stochastic parrots. The authors argue that as these models get bigger and are trained on more data, they improve on individual language-related abilities and also develop new ones by combining skills in a manner that hints at understanding — combinations that were unlikely to exist in the training data.
DermaSensor Inc announces FDA clearance for its real-time, non-invasive skin cancer evaluation system. For the first time, the 300,000 primary care physicians in the U.S. can now be equipped to provide quantitative, point-of-care testing for all types of skin cancer.
An artificial-intelligence (AI) tool can rigorously prove whether geometric facts…are true…When tested on a set of 30 geometry problems from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), AlphaGeometry could solve 25. This is approaching the performance of the competitions’ gold medallists — at least in geometry.
Researchers at Abu Dhabi's Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) say they have developed technology that can imitate someone’s handwriting based on just a few paragraphs of written material.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can play with your dog, understand why your baby’s crying, and keep you company while you are in the toilet …AI dominated the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024, giving audiences a glimpse at how smart tech will increasingly influence our daily lives in the years ahead following the boom in AI development in 2023.
12 January 2024 - {Google] developed Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer (AMIE), a research AI system based on a LLM and optimized for diagnostic reasoning and conversations…trained and evaluated AMIE along many dimensions that reflect quality in real-world clinical consultations from the perspective of both clinicians and patients.
CorrectSequence Therapeutics’ CS-101 Successfully Cures One Patient of Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia using DNA base editing
Scientists at PNNL are testing a new battery material that was found in a matter of weeks, not years, as part of the collaboration with Microsoft to use to advanced AI and high-performance computing (HPC), a type of cloud-based computing that combines large numbers of computers to solve complex scientific and mathematical tasks.

Isomorphic, which Hassabis launched in 2021 under DeepMind parent company Alphabet, draws on DeepMind’s AlphaFold 2 AI technology that can be used to predict the structure of proteins in the human body. By uncovering these structures, the hope is that researchers can identify new target pathways to deliver drugs for fighting disease.
