Harvard's AI model predicts immunotherapy outcomes across cancer types with improved accuracy

Harvard researchers developed COMPASS, a generalizable AI that predicts which cancer patients will respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors. The AI model outperformed existing approaches by 8.5% and provides interpretable results based on tumor gene activity. Published in Nature Medicine, this advance could transform personalized medicine and clinical trial enrollment.

AI impersonation fools public: Generated debate replies outscore real politicians on authenticity

Researchers at the University of Passau used GPT-4 Turbo to impersonate 112 public figures on BBC's Question Time. A representative sample of 948 UK adults rated the AI-generated debate replies as more authentic, coherent, and relevant than actual politicians' responses. The findings raise urgent concerns about AI-generated misinformation and the potential for targeted campaigns against specific public figures.

Study reveals people embrace AI ghosts of deceased loved ones, but fear addiction to grief tech

A University of Colorado Boulder study examined how 16 people interacted with AI-generated representations of their deceased relatives and friends. All participants said they'd use the technology again, finding it emotionally powerful. But nearly everyone worried about addiction risk for grieving loved ones. The research offers the first scientific look at generative ghosts as platforms like Project December and HereAfterAI turn grief tech into commercial reality.
