Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhones

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, robotics/AI

Apple is looking to team up with Google for a mega-deal to leverage the Gemini AI model for features on iPhone, Bloomberg reported. This will put Google in a commanding position as the company already has a deal with Apple as the preferred search engine provider on iPhones for the Safari browser.

The publication cited people familiar with the matter saying that Apple is looking to license Google’s AI tech to introduce AI-powered features with iOS updates later this year. Additionally, the company also held discussions with OpenAI to potentially use GPT models, Bloomberg said.

Streaming Into The Future: How AI Is Reshaping Entertainment

Posted by in categories: entertainment, information science, robotics/AI

In the digital age, where entertainment is but a click away, a silent yet powerful transformation is underway. Streaming companies, the vanguards of this digital entertainment era, are not just delivering content; they’re crafting experiences, and artificial intelligence (AI) is their most adept tool. Let us explore how AI is not just changing, but revolutionizing the way we consume media.

Gone are the days of aimlessly browsing channels to find something to watch. AI in streaming services is like a discerning director, understanding and curating content to fit the unique tastes of each viewer. It’s an era where your streaming service knows what you want to watch, sometimes even before you do. The great power of AI is personalization, where organizations can create unique user journeys. At the core of AI’s integration into streaming is personalization. Netflix, the colossus of streaming, employs AI algorithms to recommend movies and shows based on your viewing history. However, generally, these recommendation engines based on historical presences have muted value. Traditional metrics leverage past viewing information or collaborative filtering to make content recommendations. However, customer feedback has shown these are imperfect fits in the age of data for precision product-market fit.

Machine Learning Can Spot Tumor-Reactive TCRs, Speed Immunotherapies

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

The manufacturing process for personalized T-cell therapies hardly begins before it stalls. Why? Right at the start, there is a severe bottleneck: the need to identify patient-derived, tumor-reactive T-cell receptors (TCRs).

To overcome this bottleneck, scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the University Medical Center Mannheim have developed predicTCR, a machine learning classifier. According to the scientists, it can identify individual tumor-reactive tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TILs) in an antigen-agnostic manner based on single-TIL RNA sequencing.

The scientists also assert that prediTCR can halve the time it takes to get past the bottleneck, helping to reduce the overall time needed to make a personalized T-cell therapy for cancer patients. Since the overall time is at least six months, any reduction in the time needed to complete any manufacturing step is welcome.

Intermittent food intake activates a ‘GPS gene’ in liver cells, thus completing the development of the liver after birth

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food

Until now, it was not clear how hepatocytes were assigned tasks related to their localization. Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) have discovered that a gene, mTOR, is responsible for organizing the hepatocyte position map.

They also found that what triggers hepatocyte specialization is feeding after birth. The difference is marked by how nutrients reach the organism before and after birth: with no interruptions through the umbilical cord in one case, or in an intermittent fashion –when eating– in the other. The alternation of periods with and without available nutrients activates the mTOR gene and causes the hepatocytes to specialize, which completes the maturation of the liver.

Sleep’s Crucial Role in Preserving Memory

Posted by in category: neuroscience

ICYMI: March 15, 2024 was World Sleep Day.

Sleep is super important for the brain — that’s when memories can be turned from short term to long term memories. And during sleep the brain’s cleaning system is working at full capacity! 🫧🧼🚿💦


During sleep, our brains are busy consolidating memories and removing waste to keep our minds sharp. Recent findings from Yale on sleep hygiene and more.
