🧠 Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) helps doctors make better diagnoses, scientists create new materials, farmers grow crops more effectively and all of us driving cars - and millions of other applications. This topic also covers subsets of AI such as machine learning (ML), deep learning and neural networks.
🥼 AI shortens handling of pharmaceutical documentation from 15 weeks to 10 minutes
Processes that previously required more than 50 people and took several months can now be handled by only three people with AI support. Novo Nordisk has reduced the time to compile regulatory documents from 15 weeks to less than 10 minutes using AI.
💡 Musings of the Angry Optimist: AI development has entered phase two
AI development has now entered Phase Two, where we create new things based on what we learned in Phase One. It may seem obvious, yet surprisingly many people focus only on today’s shortcomings and completely misjudge the future.
📜 AI reveals text in 2000-year-old charred scroll from Herculaneum
X-ray technology and artificial intelligence have for the first time made it possible to read the contents of a charred scroll from Herculaneum without physically opening it. The text in the scroll contains Greek text and is believed to be a philosophical work.
👩💻 New study: One in three use AI at work - triples efficiency
30.1 percent of Americans over 18 use generative AI at work, shows new comprehensive survey of over 4000 respondents. A task that normally takes 90 minutes to complete can be done in 30 minutes with the help of AI.
🤦 Progress like DeepSeek are what the pessimists always miss
AI development was heading for a wall, said the pessimists. Then DeepSeek appeared and shattered their argument.
💊 AI-designed drugs entering clinical trials this year
Alphabet's subsidiary Isomorphic Labs plans to have their first AI-designed drugs in clinical trials before the end of the year. The company focuses on major disease areas including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration.
🤯 Is Deep Research the biggest thing since ChatGPT?
By applying Deep Research to your information gathering, you become significantly more well-informed and knowledgeable - without it taking more time.
💡 Nobel laureate transforms AI hallucinations into new proteins
David Baker uses AI's ability to generate hallucination to develop entirely new proteins for medical treatment. His team converts AI's imagined protein structures into real proteins that can be used in healthcare. The method has led to 10 million new proteins.
💻 New AI model creates tailored materials for future technology
MatterGen creates materials based on specific requirements and desired material properties. The model has already led to the creation of a new material, TaCr2O6, which has been successfully tested in laboratory. The technology is available to everyone under MIT license.
