Degrees of intelligence: Where Meta’s top AGI scientists studied and why it matters

Meta’s Superintelligence Lab has assembled a world-class team of AI researchers from institutions like OpenAI, DeepMind, and Google. Their educational paths—often beginning in top universities in China or India and leading to elite Western institutions—reflect the global and interdisciplinary nature of AGI development. This article explores their academic journeys, highlighting how rigorous training in mathematics, computer science, and safety research underpins the next frontier of artificial intelligence.

A couple tried for 18 years to get pregnant. AI made it happen

After trying to conceive for 18 years, one couple is now pregnant with their first child thanks to the power of artificial intelligence.

The couple had undergone several rounds of in vitro fertilization, or IVF, visiting fertility centers around the world in the hopes of having a baby.

The IVF process involves removing a woman’s egg and combining it with sperm in a laboratory to create an embryo, which is then implanted in the womb.

Scientists discover microplastics in SEMEN and female follicular fluid

From the depths of The Mariana Trench to the summit of Everest, microplastics can now be found almost everywhere on Earth.

Now, it turns out even our most intimate moments can’t escape their blight.

Scientists have discovered microplastics are ‘common’ in both male and female reproductive fluids.

Researchers find immune pathway in joint tissue involved in early rheumatoid arthritis

A new study by scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus reveals that joint tissue from patients with early-stage rheumatoid arthritis often have high levels of a protein called granzyme used by the immune system to attack pathogens.

The study also detected remnants of a bacteria that causes —gingivitis—in the . While a connection between gingivitis and rheumatoid arthritis has long been suspected, this is the first time physical evidence of the bacteria in the has been detected.

Researchers said the findings strongly support the hypothesis that these bacteria, initially colonizing gum tissue, somehow drive the development of rheumatoid arthritis, at least in some patients. How the bacteria get into the joints remains unknown. These findings, they said, could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of this chronic disease.
