New AI tool could make future vaccines ‘variant-proof,’ researchers say

A new AI tool that predicts viral mutations could guide treatments for COVID-19 — and the next pandemic. The system, named EVEscape, was developed at Harvard Medical School and Oxford University. In tests, the tool accurately predicted the most concerning and frequent variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that emerged during the pandemic. A study published last week

UK plan to lead in generative AI ‘unrealistic,’ say Cambridge researchers

The British government’s aim to turn the UK into a global leader in the development of generative AI is “unrealistic,” researchers at the University of Cambridge argue. According to the associated report, the country lacks both the necessary capital investment and computing power to build generative AI fast enough to compete with tech giants such

New technique makes AI hallucinations wake up and face reality

Chatbots have an alarming propensity to generate false information, but present it as accurate. This phenomenon, known as AI hallucinations, has various adverse effects. At best, it restricts the benefits of artificial intelligence. At worst, it can cause real-world harm to people. As generative AI enters the mainstream, the alarm bells are ringing louder. In

Google’s AI could soon consume as much electricity as Ireland, study finds

Amid the debate over the dangers of widespread AI development, an important concern may have been overlooked: the huge amount of energy required to train these large language models. A new study published this week suggests that the AI industry could consume as much energy as a country like Argentina, Netherlands, or Sweden by 2027.

Gaia spacecraft finds new jigsaw pieces for puzzle of the Universe

The Gaia spacecraft has unearthed a new treasure trove of secrets about our galaxy — and beyond. The European Space Agency (ESA) mission plans to produce the largest, most precise 3D map of the Milky Way. To achieve this lofty goal, Gaia is surveying almost 2 billion celestial objects. Using two optical telescopes, the satellite
