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.”

Innovative Therapy Boosts Natural Killer Cells to Fight Blood Cancers: Study

USA: Medical researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed an experimental method for treating hard-to-treat blood cancers using natural killer cells pre-treated with nicotinamide, a compound commonly known as vitamin B3. These natural killer cells are part of the body’s immune system and have the unique ability to target and destroy malignant cells.

A recent study, published in Science Translational Medicine by Frank Cichocki and colleagues, highlights the potential of this approach in treating relapsed or refractory leukemias and lymphomas, where traditional treatments have often failed. The study involved boosting the effectiveness of natural killer cells through pre-treatment with nicotinamide and interleukin-15 (IL-15).

Humane’s AI Pin could cost $1,000 — and require a subscription

Humane is set to reveal more about its mysterious new device on November 9th, but a new report from The Information says the gadget could have a high price.

The AI Pin, the new gadget / wearable device / projector / thing from the secretive startup Humane, might cost as much as $1,000 and may require a monthly subscription for data, according to The Information.

The mysterious device has been in development for years, but we got our first good look at it during co-founder Imran Chaudhri’s presentation at TED this year. In the presentation, he used then unnamed device to accept a phone call, get information about where to buy a gift, translate a sentence that is then spoken in an AI-made… More.

We might learn if that’s true on November 9th.

OpenAI forms new team to assess “catastrophic risks” of AI

OpenAI’s new preparedness team will address the potential dangers associated with AI, including nuclear threats.

OpenAI is forming a new team to mitigate the “catastrophic risks” associated with AI. In an update on Thursday.

The team will also work to mitigate “chemical, biological, and radiological threats,” as well as “autonomous replication,” or the act of an AI replicating itself. Some other risks that the preparedness team will address include AI’s ability to trick humans, as well as cybersecurity threats.

We believe that frontier AI… More.

The preparedness team will address several potential threats.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Coming for Sam Altman and OpenAI

Sam Altman sat comfortably.

Ever since the gathering, Zuckerberg and Meta have rapidly shipped products that compete directly with Altman’s OpenAI, opening up one of the most intense — and overlooked — battles in tech today. Meta’s countered OpenAI’s GPT-4 with… More.

A fierce, underrated, and full-contact battle is brewing between the social networking company and the formidable AI upstart.
