Targeting early-onset Parkinson’s with AI
Impact Published 21 September 2022 AlphaFold predictions are paving the way towards new treatments that can impact over 10 million people worldwide It was a source of hard-earned satisfaction after what had often felt like an uphill battle. David Komander and his colleagues had finally published the long-sought structure of PINK1. Mutations in the gene…
With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell
A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and protein variants in a single human cell, and since scientists can typically only test for a handful in one experiment, it is extremely costly and…
This AI paper from DeepSeek-AI Explores How DeepSeek-V3 Delivers High-Performance Language Modeling by Minimizing Hardware Overhead and Maximizing Computational Efficiency
The growth in developing and deploying large language models (LLMs) is closely tied to architectural innovations, large-scale datasets, and hardware improvements. Models like DeepSeek-V3, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and LLaMA-3 have demonstrated how scaling enhances reasoning and dialogue capabilities. However, as their performance increases, so do computing, memory, and communication bandwidth demands, placing substantial strain…
The State of AI Security in 2025: Key Insights from the Cisco Report
As more businesses adopt AI, understanding its security risks has become more important than ever. AI is reshaping industries and workflows, but it also introduces new security challenges that organizations must address. Protecting AI systems is essential to maintain trust, safeguard privacy, and ensure smooth business operations. This article summarizes the key insights from Cisco’s…
Building safer dialogue agents
Research Published 22 September 2022 Authors The Sparrow team Training an AI to communicate in a way that’s more helpful, correct, and harmless In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have achieved success at a range of tasks such as question answering, summarisation, and dialogue. Dialogue is a particularly interesting task because it features flexible…
Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words
Imagine a radiologist examining a chest X-ray from a new patient. She notices the patient has swelling in the tissue but does not have an enlarged heart. Looking to speed up diagnosis, she might use a vision-language machine-learning model to search for reports from similar patients. But if the model mistakenly identifies reports with both…
Rime Introduces Arcana and Rimecaster (Open Source): Practical Voice AI Tools Built on Real-World Speech
The field of Voice AI is evolving toward more representative and adaptable systems. While many existing models have been trained on carefully curated, studio-recorded audio, Rime is pursuing a different direction: building foundational voice models that reflect how people actually speak. Its two latest releases, Arcana and Rimecaster, are designed to offer practical tools for…
Evolving from Bots to Brainpower: The Ascendancy of Agentic AI
What truly separates us from machines? Free will, creativity and intelligence? But think about it. Our brains aren’t singular, monolithic processors. The magic isn’t in one “thinking part,” but rather in countless specialized agents—neurons—that synchronize perfectly. Some neurons catalog facts, others process logic or govern emotion, still more retrieve memories, orchestrate movement, or interpret visual…
Discovering novel algorithms with AlphaTensor
Research Published 5 October 2022 Authors Alhussein Fawzi, Matej Balog, Bernardino Romera-Paredes, Demis Hassabis, Pushmeet Kohli First extension of AlphaZero to mathematics unlocks new possibilities for research Algorithms have helped mathematicians perform fundamental operations for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians created an algorithm to multiply two numbers without requiring a multiplication table, and Greek…
New tool evaluates progress in reinforcement learning
If there’s one thing that characterizes driving in any major city, it’s the constant stop-and-go as traffic lights change and as cars and trucks merge and separate and turn and park. This constant stopping and starting is extremely inefficient, driving up the amount of pollution, including greenhouse gases, that gets emitted per mile of driving. …
