Scientists use AI to create bacteria that run key cellular machinery on just 19 amino acids

Researchers at Columbia University and MIT have reengineered E. coli bacteria to operate core cellular machinery with just 19 amino acids instead of the universal 20. Using AI-guided protein design tools like AlphaFold, the team successfully removed isoleucine from 21 ribosomal proteins while maintaining robust cell growth. The breakthrough offers insights into early life forms and opens doors for engineering cells with novel capabilities.

ChatGPT passes strawberry test but AI reasoning flaws remain as cranberry exposes the same problem

OpenAI announced ChatGPT can finally count the letter 'r' in strawberry, a task that stumped the AI chatbot for years. But users quickly discovered the same confident mistakes persist when testing with cranberry. The apparent hardcoded solution raises questions about whether AI reasoning has truly improved or if models are just memorizing specific tests.

AI detects pancreatic cancer up to 3 years before diagnosis, outperforming radiologists by nearly 3x

Mayo Clinic researchers developed REDMOD, an AI model that spots pancreatic cancer an average of 475 days before clinical diagnosis by identifying subtle changes invisible to the human eye on routine CT scans. The system correctly identified 73% of cases compared to 39% for radiologists, offering hope for shifting diagnosis from late-stage terminal disease to early-stage curative treatment.

Bernie Sanders' AI regulation push with Chinese scientists ignites national security debate

Senator Bernie Sanders hosted a Capitol Hill panel with leading Chinese scientists to advocate for international cooperation on AI regulation, calling artificial intelligence a 'runaway train with no brakes.' The event sparked fierce backlash from conservatives, investors, and lawmakers who questioned the wisdom of partnering with a foreign adversary on critical technology policy.

Dead Internet Theory edges closer as 35% of new websites are now AI-generated, study reveals

Researchers from Stanford University, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive analyzed 33 months of web data and found that 35% of newly published websites by mid-2025 are AI-generated or AI-assisted. The study confirms the internet is becoming less diverse in ideas and increasingly cheerful in tone, though concerns about factual accuracy weren't validated.

Archaeologists at Pompeii use artificial intelligence to reconstruct victim of AD 79 eruption

Archaeologists at Pompeii have used artificial intelligence for the first time to create a digital reconstruction of a victim from the AD 79 Mount Vesuvius eruption. The AI-generated image shows a man fleeing with a terracotta mortar held over his head for protection, carrying an oil lamp and 10 bronze coins. The project, developed by the Pompeii Archaeological Park with the University of Padua, aims to enhance classical studies and make archaeological research more accessible to the public.

David Silver raises $1.1B for AI that learns without human data, challenging LLM dominance

Former DeepMind researcher David Silver has secured $1.1 billion in record-breaking seed funding for Ineffable Intelligence at a $5.1 billion valuation. The London-based startup aims to build a 'superlearner' AI using reinforcement learning rather than human-generated data, directly challenging the large language model paradigm that currently dominates the AI industry.

AI predicts ADHD in children by age 5, years before most get diagnosed

Duke Health researchers developed an AI tool that analyzes routine electronic health records to predict ADHD risk in children as young as 5, years before typical diagnosis. By mining hidden patterns in medical data from over 140,000 children, the model identifies developmental and behavioral markers that clinicians might miss, offering a clinical safety net for early intervention.

AI model designs new antibiotic in early tests, accelerating drug discovery against resistant bacteria

McMaster University researchers developed SyntheMol-RL, a generative AI model that explores 46 billion possible compounds to design antibiotics. In early tests, the AI created synthecin, a novel antibiotic that proved highly effective against drug-resistant staph infections in mouse models. The breakthrough demonstrates how AI can accelerate the slow, costly search for new antimicrobial medicines.
