AI Is a Paradigm Shift That Could Unearth The Next Super Material
From the Bronze age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, the discovery and development of new materials has been a driving force in human history. These novel materials have helped advance technology and shape civilisations.
Today, we are at the beginning of a new era, where artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be in the perfect position to transform the search for useful materials. This looks set to completely change the approach to their investigation, creation and testing.
In ancient times, human civilisations experimented with natural resources to create tools and artifacts. The Bronze age, in the mid-4th millennium BC, was a significant milestone. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, led to the development of stronger tools and weapons, as well as advancements in agriculture and construction.
Meta unveils AI models that convert brain activity into text with unmatched accuracy
The first of the studies, carried out by Meta’s Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) lab in Paris, collaborating with the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language in San Sebastian, Spain, demonstrates the ability to decode the production of sentences from non-invasive brain recordings. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG), researchers recorded brain activity from 35 healthy volunteers as they typed sentences.
Top AI Scientist Unifies Wolfram, Leibniz, & Consciousness | William Hahn
In today’s episode, William Hahn explores how Wolfram’s universal computation and Leibniz’s layered consciousness might converge in modern AI, potentially yielding a new evolutionary step in machine self-awareness.

OpenAI to Super Bowl fans: This technology is about to change your life
OpenAI CMO Kate Rouch on the company’s ambition to build an iconic brand, the creative direction of its first big ad, and why it suited up for the Super Bowl.
CERN Physicists Use AI To Understand the ‘God Particle’
To identify signs of particles like the Higgs boson, CERN researchers work with mountains of data generated by LHC collisions.
Hunting for evidence of an object whose behavior is predicted by existing theories is one thing. But having successfully observed the elusive boson, identifying new and unexpected particles and interactions is an entirely different matter.
To speed up their analysis, physicists feed data from the billions of collisions that occur in LHC experiments into machine learning algorithms. These models are then trained to identify anomalous patterns.
Targeted polymersomes boost methotrexate efficacy for aggressive choriocarcinoma treatment
Researchers develop targeted polymersomes to enhance methotrexate delivery, offering a promising new approach for treating aggressive choriocarcinoma.

In a recent study published in Small Science, researchers develop targeted polymersomes loaded with methotrexate for the treatment of gestational choriocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive malignancy originating from the placenta.
Elon Musk-Led Group Makes $97.4 Billion Bid for Control of OpenAI
In today’s AI news, a consortium of investors led by Elon Musk is offering $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI. The unsolicited offer adds a complication to Altman’s carefully laid plans for OpenAI’s future, including converting it to a for-profit company and spending up to $500 billion on AI infrastructure through a JV called Stargate.
In other advancements, all eyes were on French President Emmanuel Macron Sunday at the end of the first day of the AI Action Summit in Paris after he announced a €109 billion investment package. “For me, this summit is not just the announcement of a lot of investment in France. It’s a wake-up call for a European strategy,” he said.
And, Current AI, a “public interest” initiative focused on fostering and steering development of artificial intelligence in societally beneficial directions, was announced at the French AI Action summit on Monday. It’s kicking off with an initial $400 million in pledges from backers and a plan to pull in $2.5 billion more over the next five years.
Then, ZDNET contributor Jack Wallen reports his local AI of choice is the open-source Ollama. He recently wrote a piece on how to make using this local LLM easier with the help of a browser extension, which he uses on Linux. But on MacOS devices, Jack turns to an easy-to-use, free app called Msty.
In videos, At the AI Action Summit in Paris, Yann LeCun underscored a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence—one that moves beyond the brute-force approach of large language models in his presentation, “The Next AI Revolution”. The future of AI hinges on *world models*—structured, adaptive representations that can infer, reason, and plan.
And, DeepSeek is not a threat to OpenAI says, Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO Snowflake, the $60BN public company with $3.5BN in revenue growing 30% per year. Sridhar joined Snowflake following his company, Neeva, being acquired by them for $150M. Mr. Ramaswamy spent 15 years growing Google’s AdWords from $1.5B to over $100B.
Then, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt with Alliant founder Craig Mundie talk with David Rubenstein about the promise, and potential peril, of a new frontier in artificial intelligence — and their collaboration with the late Henry Kissinger on his final book, Genesis. Recorded January 26, 2025 at The 92nd Street Y, in New York City, New York.
