Can AI really save the World? ft. Bill Gates

Something good about AI.

Sitting down with Bill gates to see how AI can be also be used for something good!

Who you callin‘ bird-brained? Pigeons learn the same way AI models do

Despite many studies showing pigeons are surprisingly smart, from being as good at counting as primates, to being able to identify breast cancer in X-rays, scientists are fighting a losing battle to dispute their widely held reputation as being a bit “dim-witted.”

A new study has pitted the pigeon up against an artificial-intelligence model and found that both bird and computer follow a similar process in order to work out the problem they’re presented with.

“We found really strong evidence that the mechanisms guiding pigeon learning are remarkably similar to the same principles that guide modern machine learning and AI techniques,” said Brandon Turner, lead author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University. “Our findings suggest that in the pigeon, nature may have found a way to make an incredibly efficient learner that has no ability to generalize or extrapolate like humans would.”

Detecting Lung Cancer EARLY With AI: Dr. Lecia Sequist

Dr. Lecia Sequist is the Program Director of the Cancer Early Detection & Diagnostics Clinic at Mass General Cancer Center. For nearly 20 years, she’s specialized in lung cancer.

Observing first-hand the obstacles involved in current screenings of lung cancer, Dr. Sequist made a career switch to the research of early lung cancer detection. This led her to meet MIT professor, Regina Barzilay. Together, they created Sybil – an open-source AI tool that uses pattern recognition to predict one’s risk of lung cancer.

Dr. Sequist shares the benefits of AI in preventative medicine, how AI works to assess cancer risks, the logistics of using AI, and the importance of getting screened for lung cancer.

GPT-4 evolves into a more flexible “supermodel” with OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT update

OpenAI combines the different GPT-4 models into a kind of “supermodel” in ChatGPT-4 powered ChatGPT can now decide for itself how it can best help you.

OpenAI is currently preparing a GPT-4 update for ChatGPT that allows you to upload PDFs and many other file types. Once uploaded, ChatGPT can be used to discuss the information in the document, such as extracting aspects or getting an explanation.

This feature is not new. It was previously hidden in the Advanced Data Analysis model, which you had to select from the model switcher to get the file upload button.

Scientists demonstrate the existence of a universal lower bound on topological entanglement entropy

In a new study, scientists from the US and Taiwan have theoretically demonstrated the existence of a universal lower bound on topological entanglement entropy, which is always non-negative. The findings are published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Quantum systems are bizarre and follow their own rules, with quantum states telling us everything we know about that system. Topological entanglement entropy (TEE) is a measure that provides insights into emergent non-local phenomena and entanglement in with topological properties.

Given the fundamental role of quantum entanglement in and various information applications, understanding TEE becomes essential for gaining insights into the behavior of quantum systems.

Engineering CRISPR Cures: An Interview with Fyodor Urnov

Fyodor Urnov, PhD, is a pioneer in the field of genome editing and one of the scientists most invested in expanding the availability and utility of CRISPR-based therapies to the broadest possible population. He envisions a world in which genome editing can treat the nearly 400 million people who are suffering from one of the 7,000 diseases brought on by gene mutations.

Physicists Say Time Travel Can Be Simulated Using Quantum Entanglement

A simulation offers a means of probing time travel without worrying about whether it’s actually permitted by the rules of the universe.

“Whether closed timelike curves exist in reality, we don’t know. The laws of physics that we know of allow for the existence of CTCs, but those laws are incomplete; most glaringly, we don’t have a theory of quantum gravity,” said Yunger Halpern. “Regardless of whether true CTCs exist, though, one can use entanglement to simulate CTCs, as others showed before we wrote our paper.”
