Researchers at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in Australia have found that a drug called divarasib, when combined with another treatment called cetuximab, shows promising results in treating a specific form of bowel cancer caused by a mutation in the KRAS gene. The combination resulted in a positive outcome for 62 percent of patients, with […]
Elon Musk’s AI venture Grok AI is facing a bumpy start, with issues such as the bot trashing Musk and expressing support for progressive causes. Furthermore, users have pointed out that Grok seems to be using content from its competitor ChatGPT, made by Musk’s former colleagues and current rivals at OpenAI. An xAI engineer named […]
OctoML has ended its business relationship with Civitai following an investigation by 404 Media, which revealed that Civitai’s text-to-image platform was being used to generate images that potentially constitute child pornography. The investigation showed that Civitai users were creating sexually explicit and nonconsensual images of real people, including pornographic depictions of children. Civitai and […]
The European Parliament and EU member states have agreed on the world’s first comprehensive laws to regulate artificial intelligence, which also cover social media and search engines. The laws aim to protect the public from potential threats posed by AI and are seen as “historic” by European Commissioner Thierry Breton. They put the EU ahead […]
The article introduces Purple Llama, an initiative to promote responsible deployment of generative AI models. As part of this, the company is releasing CyberSec Eval, a set of cybersecurity safety evaluation benchmarks, and Llama Guard, a safety classifier for input/output filtering. The project aims to level the playing field for developers and make these tools […]
A new Seattle biotech organization, the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology, has received $75 million in funding from the University of Washington, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Allen Institute. The initiative aims to research “DNA typewriters,” self-monitoring cells that could revolutionize biology. By leveraging DNA as a storage medium for information, the organization seeks to […]
European Union lawmakers have reached a preliminary agreement on how to regulate artificial intelligence, specifically concerning rules for foundational models/general purpose AIs (GPAIs). The agreement retains elements of the tiered approach to regulating these advanced AIs proposed earlier this year, with some exceptions for open source advanced AIs. These developments in AI regulation in […]
McDonald’s is teaming up with Google to roll out generative AI in thousands of its stores beginning in 2024. This partnership involves hardware and software upgrades to optimize operations, including the promise of delivering hotter and fresher food to customers. The AI-driven system, which will run on-location and through Google Cloud services, aims to streamline […]
In a recent copyright infringement case, Getty Images has sued Stability AI, a UK generative AI startup, for using scraped images from Getty’s website without consent to train and develop Stable Diffusion, a synthetic image generating AI. The case is still in preliminary stages, with the focus on the location of the AI’s training and […]
In the U.S., sickle cell disease disproportionately affects Black patients, who have historically faced discrimination and barriers to healthcare. CRISPR, a groundbreaking gene editing technology, holds promise for treating the disease, but ethical concerns and regulatory frameworks need to be addressed. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help mitigate risks associated with gene editing, as it […]
