“Let’s say a certain protein is expressed very highly in a cell. But when you actually look at it and see it, all of it is localised at the tip of the neuron where something very specific is happening,” he added.
Hassabis also stated that this could be crucial for understanding how a cell reacts to the injection of a specific nutrient or drug. At present, this process is carried out ‘painstakingly’ in a laboratory, but according to him, this project would enable researchers to perform it a million times faster and at a lower cost.
However, he noted that a laboratory would still be required as a final step to validate the predictions and conduct clinical trials to assess the efficacy of the research. Hassabis mentioned that the virtual cell project may materialise within five years from now.
In today’s AI news, In what would be the largest-ever investment in a startup, Masayoshi Son is preparing to put as much as $43 billion toward Sam Altman’s OpenAI in a pair of transactions. SoftBank is in talks to invest between $15 billion and $25 billion in the ChatGPT maker as part of a blockbuster $40 billion funding round, valuing OpenAI at up to $300 billion.
In other advancements, On Friday, Governor Phil Murphy and Princeton University President Micros released a statement announcing that Microsoft and CoreWeave, the cloud infrastructure company, are joining as founding partners of the NJ AI Hub. Jointly, the partners and the state of New Jersey are expected to invest over $72M.
And, Toronto-based bitcoin miner Bitfarms has enlisted two consultants to explore how it can transform some of its facilities to meet the growing demand for AI data centers. Appleby Strategy Group and World Wide Technology, will analyze its North American sites. They will also advise the company on its computing and AI strategy, while marketing the sites to potential customers.
Then, Link Ventures’ John Werner provides a sneak peek of Google’s Notebook LM running on Gemini 2. He shares a Google blog where Sundar Pichai and others are explaining the building of this agentic technology, they’re talking about “native tool use.” That means that AI entities are going to be able to use tools in the same ways as humans do.
S Tarnopol Dean’s Lecture Series, tech visionary and co-founder of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman joined Dean Erika James to discuss the profound implications of an AI-powered future. Drawing from his book, Superagency, Hoffman presented a roadmap for harnessing AI to empower individuals, and drive societal progress. + Meanwhile, human potential will only accelerate with AI answering questions better and faster than ever before, says Aravind Srinivas, cofounder and CEO of conversational search engine Perplexity. He examines the trends driving new AI-powered tools that nourish curiosity and creativity — and how they might usher in a new era of intellectual growth and discovery.
A Chinese company just created an AI model as powerful as ChatGPT for only $5M — causing NVIDIA’s stock to plummet 17%.
But there’s a darker story I believe nobody’s talking about…
In this deep dive, we uncover:
-How DeepSeek R1 matches OpenAI’s performance at a fraction of the cost.
The idea of creating machines that can think and act like humans is smoothly transforming from fiction to reality. Humanoid robots, digital humans, ChatGPT, and unmanned cars — today there are many applications driven by artificial intelligence that surpass humans in speed, accuracy, efficiency and tirelessness. But only in narrow areas so far.
And yet, this gives us hope to see a real miracle in the near future — artificial intelligence equal or superior to human intelligence in all parameters!
Can AI compare with us? Surpass us? Replace us? Deceive us and pursue its own goals? Today we will tell you how a miracle of nature such as the human brain differs from the main technology of the 21st century — artificial intelligence, and what prospects we have with AI in the future!
The journey of artificial intelligence (AI) is a captivating saga, dating back to 1956 when John McCarthy coined the term at a Dartmouth conference. Through the ensuing decades, AI witnessed three significant booms. Between the 1950s-70s, pioneers introduced groundbreaking neural perception networks and chat software. Though they foresaw AI surpassing human capabilities in a decade, this dream remained unfulfilled. By the 1980s, the second wave took shape, propelled by new machine learning techniques and neural networks, which promised innovations like speech recognition. Yet, many of these promises fell short.
But the tide turned in 2006. Deep learning emerged, and by 2016, AI systems like AlphaGo were defeating world champions. The third boom began, reinforced by large language models like ChatGPT, igniting discussions about amalgamating AI with humanoid robots. Discover more about this fascinating trend in our linked issue.
Our progress in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, quantum physics, and brain research has heavily influenced AI’s trajectory. Especially significant is our understanding of the human brain, pushing the boundaries of neural network development. Can AI truly emulate human cognition?

A team of engineers and roboticists at the University of Hong Kong have designed, built and tested an aerial robot capable of navigating unknown environments safely at high speeds while avoiding obstacles. In their paper published in the journal Science Robotics, the group describes how they overcame problems encountered by others attempting to build similar robots and how well their quadcopter robot, called SUPER, performed during testing.
Roboticists have been trying for several years to build a flying robot that could perform like birds—moving safely at high speeds while adjusting to unknown conditions as they arise, such as encountering gusts of wind, power lines, tree limbs or other objects appearing suddenly in their path.
Most such flying robots have relied on various types of sensors and cameras that had to process massive amounts of video data, slowing the speeds at which they could operate. In this new effort, the researchers in Hong Kong say they have finally overcome these challenges.
Computational chemistry has remained largely inaccessible to the experimental chemistry community. Here we report the VIRTUAL CHEMIST, a software suite free for academic use, that enables organic chemists without expertise in computational chemistry to perform virtual screening experiments for asymmetric catalyst discovery and design.
