Tempus AI shares climbed Wednesday following the launch of its new HRD-RNA algorithm, an AI-driven tool designed to detect homologous recombination deficiency in tumors. The algorithm analyzes gene expression to identify patients who may benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy or PARP inhibitors, offering a more dynamic assessment than traditional genomic methods.
Researchers used virtual reality to discover that AI-powered prosthetic arms feel most like part of the body when they move at a moderate pace of about one second. The study tested six different speeds and found that both overly fast and slow movements reduced body ownership and usability, revealing critical design insights for future autonomous prosthetics.
Google has released a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think, its specialized AI reasoning model designed for scientific research. The update achieves record-breaking scores on benchmarks like ARC-AGI-2 (84.6%) and Humanity's Last Exam (48.4%), outperforming OpenAI's GPT-5.2 and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6. Real-world applications include identifying peer review flaws in mathematics papers and optimizing semiconductor fabrication methods.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis forecasts artificial general intelligence arriving within 5-8 years, with impact 10 times greater than the Industrial Revolution. The Nobel laureate warns AI's 'jagged intelligence' must be fixed first, while predicting a renaissance in medicine, energy, and space exploration within 10-15 years.
Alibaba unveiled RynnBrain, an artificial intelligence model designed to power robots through enhanced understanding of the physical world. The model set 16 robotics records, surpassing achievements by Google and NVIDIA. RynnBrain addresses critical weaknesses in existing robotics systems through spatiotemporal memory, as China intensifies its push into physical AI to compete with the United States for technological leadership.
Mrinank Sharma, head of Anthropic's safeguards research team, resigned citing concerns about AI safety and company values. His departure joins a growing exodus from major AI labs including OpenAI and xAI, with researchers warning about existential threats, ethical concerns, and the rapid advancement of AI systems capable of self-improvement.
A mysterious limestone tablet discovered in the Netherlands has puzzled researchers for over a century. Now, artificial intelligence has cracked the code, revealing it as a blocking game played by Romans—centuries earlier than such games were thought to exist in Europe. The breakthrough demonstrates how AI simulations can unlock secrets of ancient cultures.
Researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed the BrainStem Bundle Tool (BSBT), an AI-powered software that automatically segments eight distinct nerve bundles in the brainstem using diffusion MRI. The tool revealed distinct patterns in patients with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's, and tracked a coma patient's 7-month recovery.
Pittsburgh-based Gather AI has raised $40 million in Series B funding to expand its Physical AI platform that uses drones and computer vision to solve warehouse inventory challenges. Led by former Salesforce co-CEO Keith Block's firm, the investment will help scale the technology across hundreds of facilities globally as the company grows bookings by 250%.
Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical has partnered with AI startup Iambic in a deal exceeding $1.7 billion to design small-molecule drugs targeting cancer and gastrointestinal diseases. The collaboration leverages Iambic's NeuralPLexer model to predict protein binding, potentially compressing traditional six-year drug discovery timelines to less than two years through AI predictions and automated laboratories.
New research shows artificial intelligence-powered stethoscopes can detect heart valve disease with 92% accuracy compared to 46% using traditional methods. The AI algorithm identified twice as many cases of previously undiagnosed moderate-to-severe disease, potentially enabling earlier treatment and saving thousands of lives.
Google-spinoff Waymo introduced its World Model built on DeepMind's Genie 3 to create hyper-realistic virtual environments for autonomous vehicle training. The system allows engineers to test self-driving cars against rare scenarios like tornadoes, flooded streets, and rogue elephants—situations that may never appear in the company's 200 million miles of real-world driving data but could prove critical for safety.
Researchers developed an AI-powered approach that analyzes eight distinct traits in dinosaur footprints to determine which species left them. The algorithm examined 1,974 footprint silhouettes spanning 150 million years, offering paleontologists an objective tool to solve a challenge that has sparked debate for generations.
Researchers at University of Michigan developed Prima, an AI model that analyzes brain MRI scans and delivers diagnoses in seconds with up to 97.5% accuracy. Trained on over 220,000 MRI studies, Prima can prioritize emergency cases like strokes and brain hemorrhages, automatically alerting specialists. The system aims to address growing radiology shortages and reduce diagnostic delays across health systems.
Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes told investors the company can scale its Rovo agentic AI offering to five million users without inflating AI costs or hurting margins. Despite shares falling 70% over twelve months and $826 million in quarterly R&D spending, the CEO insists AI strengthens rather than threatens the collaborationware giant's business model.
