AI identifies three new antiaging senolytic candidates

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, life extension, robotics/AI

New research by biotech Integrated Biosciences and scientists from MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has demonstrated the potential of AI in discovering novel senolytic compounds.

Longevity. Technology: Senolytics are small molecules that suppress age-related processes such as fibrosis, inflammation and cancer. They target senescent cells – the so-called ‘zombie’ cells that are no longer dividing, emit toxic chemicals and are a hallmark of aging. Senescent cells have been linked to various age-related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, but senolytic compounds can tackle them by selectively inducing apoptosis or programmed cell death in these zombie cells. This new research reduced the number of senescent cells and lowered the expression of senescence-associated genes in aged mice, results which, the authors say “underscore the promise of leveraging deep learning to discover senotherapeutics” [1].

The AI-guided screening of more than 800,000 compounds led to the identification of three drug candidates, which, when compared with senolytics currently under investigation, were found to have comparable efficacy and superior medicinal chemistry properties [1].

How manufacturers are using AI to improve worker safety

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

AI is poised as a way to address many of the hazardous elements of manufacturing workplaces. The technology can help limit employees’ exposure to loud environments, unwieldy machinery and dangerous tasks by streamlining processes and helping workers focus on less physically risky activities.

In manufacturing, many of AI’s potential benefits are concentrated in replacing the cause of the most common workplace injuries. These include “musculoskeletal disorders, mainly from overexertion in lifting and lowering, and being struck by powered industrial trucks and other materials handling equipment,” according to an OSHA spokesperson.

There are several ways to reduce those points of risk, with the most dangerous manufacturing tasks standing to benefit the most.

U.S. Surgeon General Warns Of Loneliness Epidemic And Some Say That Generative AI ChatGPT Is The Cure

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI

The U.S. Surgeon General has released an advisory alerting the public at large that loneliness has become an epidemic and represents an urgent public health concern. You might be tempted to think that this advisory is somewhat over the top and that loneliness is merely something that we all need to contend with from time to time. It seems obvious that loneliness happens. It seems obvious that loneliness is challenging.

Why should the nation’s highest official public health advisor make such a seemingly outsized clamor over a matter that we take for granted and assume is a natural part of living our lives?

The Geopolitics Of AI Chips Will Define The Future Of AI

Posted by in categories: military, robotics/AI

The following statement is utterly ludicrous. It is also true. The world’s most important advanced technology is nearly all produced in a single facility. What’s more, that facility is located in one of the most geopolitically fraught areas on earth—an area in which many analysts believe that war is inevitable within the decade.

The future of artificial intelligence hangs in the balance.


TSMC’s chip fabrication facilities, or “fabs”—the buildings where chips are physically built—sit on the western coast of Taiwan, a mere 110 miles from mainland China.

Google to take on ChatGPT with ‘snackable, visual’ search engine upgrade as AI wars intensify

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

The search engine giant is planning to make Google more “visual, snackable, personal, and human” with AI.

Google has disclosed its aims to improve its search engine’s usability and attractiveness to young people throughout the world.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that the action was taken in response to the rising popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) programs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which may have a substantial effect on how society and businesses are run.

‘We are grunt workers’: The $15 an hour laborers behind the AI revolution

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Despite the acute and never-ending need, these workers and other professionals in the field are paid very little, with no benefits.

A sizable, unseen army of contract employees is needed in the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence (AI) to educate AI systems on evaluating data and producing text and visuals.

“We are grunt workers, but there would be no AI language systems without it,” Alexej Savreux, who has worked with startups like OpenAI, the creators of AI-sensation ChatGPT, told NBC.

Scientists unveil plan to create biocomputers powered by human brain cells + interview with Prof Thomas Hartung (senior author of the paper)

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Despite AI’s impressive track record, its computational power pales in comparison with that of the human brain. Scientists unveil a revolutionary path to drive computing forward: organoid intelligence (OI), where lab-grown brain organoids serve as biological hardware. “This new field of biocomputing promises unprecedented advances in computing speed, processing power, data efficiency, and storage capabilities – all with lower energy needs,” say the authors in an article published in Frontiers in Science.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been inspired by the human brain. This approach proved highly successful: AI boasts impressive achievements – from diagnosing medical conditions to composing poetry. Still, the original model continues to outperform machines in many ways. This is why, for example, we can ‘prove our humanity’ with trivial image tests online. What if instead of trying to make AI more brain-like, we went straight to the source?
