Mary Minno and Wojcicki family launch AI Health Fund to back academic healthcare startups

Former Google product manager Mary Minno has launched Treehub, a six-month residency program, alongside the AI Health Fund, targeting $10 million to invest in startups at the intersection of healthcare and AI. Backed by Tim Draper, Anne Wojcicki, and Esther Wojcicki, the venture aims to bridge the gap between academic research and fundable companies, with early checks ranging from $50,000 to $150,000.

NeoCognition raises $40M to build self-learning AI agents that specialize like human experts

NeoCognition, an AI research lab spun out of Ohio State University, has emerged from stealth with $40 million in seed funding to tackle a critical problem: current AI agents complete tasks successfully only 50% of the time. The startup is developing agents that learn like humans by building world models of their operating environments, enabling them to rapidly specialize in any domain rather than remaining unreliable generalists.

Multimodal AI model predicts PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer with cost-effective precision

Researchers from Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital developed a multimodal AI framework that combines whole-slide pathology images with clinical data to predict PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer. The model achieved an AUC of 0.745 in internal testing and demonstrated strong generalizability across external cohorts, offering a practical alternative to expensive molecular testing for guiding PI3K-targeted therapies.

Quantum computers could boost AI by processing large datasets with minimal memory requirements

Researchers have developed a breakthrough method for using quantum computers to boost AI performance on massive datasets. The technique allows quantum machines to process data in smaller batches without requiring impossibly large memory systems. A quantum computer with just 300 logical qubits could outperform a classical computer built using every atom in the observable universe for certain AI tasks.

AI systems judge people with systematic biases stronger than humans, study reveals

A Hebrew University study analyzing over 43,000 simulated decisions reveals AI systems exhibit systematic and predictable biases when evaluating people. While AI mimics human trust, it relies on rigid criteria rather than holistic impressions, leading to stronger biases in critical decision-making roles like job screening and creditworthiness assessment.

Kevin Weil and Bill Peebles leave OpenAI as company abandons moonshots for enterprise focus

OpenAI is losing Kevin Weil, who led its science research initiative, and Bill Peebles, the researcher behind Sora. The executive departures follow the company's decision to shut down costly projects like Sora, which burned $1 million daily, and Prism as it pivots toward enterprise AI and building a Codex-based superapp.

AI art analysis challenges centuries-old beliefs about El Greco's mysterious painting

Researchers used AI to analyze The Baptism of Christ at microscopic levels, examining paint texture down to single brushstrokes. The findings challenge the long-held belief that El Greco's son and workshop apprentices completed the unfinished painting after the master's death in 1614, suggesting instead that El Greco painted most of it himself.

OpenAI unveils GPT-Rosalind AI model to accelerate drug discovery and life sciences research

OpenAI released GPT-Rosalind, its first domain-specific AI model built for life sciences research. Named after DNA pioneer Rosalind Franklin, the model aims to compress the 10-to-15-year drug development timeline by helping scientists synthesize evidence and generate biological hypotheses. Access is restricted through a trusted access program to enterprise partners including Amgen, Moderna, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Anthropic plans massive London expansion with office for 800 staff, intensifying AI talent race

Anthropic unveiled plans for a 158,000 square foot London office capable of housing 800 employees—four times its current UK headcount. The expansion comes days after OpenAI announced its first permanent London office, intensifying competition among AI labs for British talent. The move follows Anthropic's recent legal dispute with the Pentagon over refusing to allow its models for mass surveillance.

AI Use Erodes User Confidence and Cognitive Abilities, Multiple Studies Reveal

Recent peer-reviewed research shows that heavy reliance on AI tools significantly reduces confidence in independent reasoning and degrades cognitive abilities. Studies involving nearly 2,000 participants found that people who heavily depend on AI for work tasks report lower confidence and less ownership over their output, while those who actively edit AI-generated content maintain stronger cognitive skills.

VueBuds bring visual AI to earbuds with tiny cameras, offering privacy-focused alternative to smart glasses

University of Washington researchers unveiled VueBuds, AI earbuds equipped with rice-grain-sized cameras that let users ask questions about their surroundings. The prototype achieves 83-84% accuracy in object recognition and translation while addressing privacy concerns through local processing and low-resolution imaging. Unlike smart glasses, VueBuds leverage a device people already wear daily.

Scientists reveal which phone swipes tire you out most with new AI simulation tool

Researchers from Aalto and Leipzig Universities developed Log2Motion, an AI model that translates smartphone interaction logs into simulated human movement to measure physical fatigue. The tool reveals that up-down and down-up swipes require the most effort, while tapping small icons and screen corners also demands additional physical exertion from phone gestures.
