Chemistry researchers at Case Western Reserve University have identified specific markers that could pave the way for new blood tests to detect diseases.

Almost every disease involves some degree of inflammation, yet standard blood tests cannot precisely identify which organs or tissues are affected.

Now, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an antibody-based method to detect inflammation, which could pave the way for blood tests that identify disease-specific biomarkers. This advancement has potential applications in diagnosing conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s.

…according to Replit president Michele Catasta, recent advancements in generative AI are enabling even programming neophytes to build software just as effectively as human engineers, without learning a single line of code.

Coding platform Replit is using generative AI to empower anyone to write software and create apps. Here’s how.

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including LLM-based conversational agents such as ChatGPT, have become increasingly widespread. These tools are now used by countless individuals worldwide for both professional and personal purposes.

Some users are now also asking AI agents to answer everyday questions, some of which could have ethical and moral nuances. Providing these agents with the ability to discern between what is generally considered ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, so that they can be programmed to only provide ethical and morally sound responses, is thus of the utmost importance.

Researchers at the University of Washington, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and other institutes in the United States recently carried out an experiment exploring the possibility of equipping AI agents with a machine equivalent of human moral judgment.

In today’s AI news, Meta on Tuesday announced that it’ll host its first-ever dev conference dedicated to generative AI. Called LlamaCon after Meta’s Llama family of generative AI models, the conference is scheduled to take place on April 29. Meta said that it plans to share the latest on its open source AI developments to help developers build amazing apps and products.

In other advancements, after her sudden departure from OpenAI last fall, ex-CTO Mira Murati vanished from public view to start something new. Now, she is ready to share some details about what she’s working on. Her new AI startup is called Thinking Machines Lab, and while the specifics of what it plans to release are still under wraps, the company says its goal is “to make AI systems more widely understood, customizable and generally capable.”

Meanwhile, In a new paper, OpenAI researchers detail how they developed an LLM benchmark called SWE-Lancer to test how much foundation models can earn from real-life freelance software engineering tasks. The test found that, while the models can solve bugs, they can’t see why the bug exists and continue to make more mistakes.

And, Humane is selling most of its company to HP for $116 million and will stop selling AI Pin, the company announced today. AI Pins that have already been purchased will continue to function normally until 3PM ET on February 28th, Humane says in a support document. After that date, Pins will “no longer connect to Humane’s servers.”

Then, in this episode of Top of Mind, Gartner Global Chief of Research Chris Howard breaks down the buzz around agentic AI. Learn how AI agents can make autonomous decisions, optimize solutions and even collaborate in multi-agent systems to transform the future of business now.

A new study examines how complex chemical mixtures evolve under changing environmental conditions, offering insights into the prebiotic processes that may have led to life. Researchers exposed organic molecules to repeated wet-dry cycles and observed continuous transformations, selective organization, and synchronized population dynamics.

The findings indicate that environmental conditions played a crucial role in fostering the molecular complexity necessary for life’s emergence. By simulating early Earth’s conditions, the team found that instead of reacting randomly, molecules self-organized, evolved over time, and followed predictable patterns.

This challenges the notion that early chemical evolution was purely chaotic. Instead, the study suggests that natural environmental fluctuations guided the formation of increasingly complex molecules, ultimately contributing to the development of life’s fundamental building blocks.

Can we mobilise society towards a concerted effort against ageing? Dr Aubrey de Grey believes so—with groundbreaking results from studies by the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation on Integrative Rejuvenation, a cutting-edge approach to repairing cellular and molecular damage linked to ageing.

Why does he believe this could be the most promising pathway toward extending healthy human lifespan? Watch on to find out.
