AI epilepsy detection identifies early warning signs in EEG data without visible seizures

University of Delaware researchers developed an AI-powered method to detect early warning signs of epilepsy in baseline brain activity, eliminating the need to capture seizures during routine EEG recordings. The machine learning algorithm successfully identified genetic epilepsy markers in mouse models with high accuracy and is now advancing to clinical trials with children at Nemours Children's Health.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky to launch AI lab focused on design, entering competition with OpenAI

Brian Chesky is backing a new artificial intelligence lab focused on user interaction and design, marking his entry into AI development. The Airbnb CEO, who helped Sam Altman return to OpenAI in 2023, will remain at Airbnb while funding the venture. The move signals frustration with existing LLM products and a belief that travel and e-commerce need richer visual interfaces than text-based chatbots.

Wildfires reverse decades of US progress on ozone pollution, causing 318 deaths annually

A new study reveals that wildfires are undoing decades of air quality improvements in the United States. After national smog levels dropped 11% from 2003 to 2015, wildfire smoke has reversed that trend, increasing ground-level ozone by 4% since 2015. Researchers used artificial intelligence to map ozone pollution nationwide and found that wildfire emissions are now causing approximately 318 additional premature deaths per year.

Anthropic warns AI may soon build itself, calls for global pause on frontier development

Anthropic is urging the world's leading AI companies to consider pausing frontier AI development as its Claude chatbot now writes over 80% of the code merged into its systems. The company warns that AI systems may be approaching recursive self-improvement, where they can design their own successors with minimal human input, potentially increasing the risk of humans losing control of the technology.

Consistency in training data helps robots master complex skills better than varied examples

Researchers from NYU Tandon and the Robotics and AI Institute discovered that robots learn dexterous manipulation tasks more effectively from consistent, structured demonstrations rather than highly variable training examples. The breakthrough approach achieved 90% success in real-world trials and could reshape how robots acquire complex physical skills.

Citizen science photos and AI reveal how switchgrass adapts across a continent

Researchers analyzed nearly 44,000 crowd-sourced photos using an AI tool called FLORIST to solve a puzzling contradiction about switchgrass flowering patterns. By integrating citizen science with experimental data and genetic analysis, the team discovered how plants adapt differently across North America—northern plants flower earlier in nature but later in controlled experiments, revealing survival strategies encoded in their genes.

Scientists discover hidden binding site in cancer protein that AI tools completely missed

Researchers at Mount Sinai identified a previously hidden druggable pocket in PKMYT1, a cancer-related protein, that state-of-the-art AI systems failed to detect. The discovery could enable more selective cancer drugs with fewer side effects, while exposing critical gaps in current AI drug discovery tools that rely heavily on computational predictions.

Scientists discover how hippocampal CA1 memory switchboard safeguards past knowledge

NYU Langone Health researchers have uncovered how the brain solves a fundamental puzzle: learning continuously without erasing what it already knows. The study reveals that one in four memory cells in the hippocampal CA1 region acts as a shared hub, routing signals through different firing patterns to keep new and old memories separate—offering insights for treating Alzheimer's and fixing catastrophic forgetting in AI.

Scientists build AI computer worm that learns and adapts as it spreads across networks

Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a prototype AI computer worm that spreads autonomously across networks, learning and adapting its attacks with each infection. Built using freely available open-weight AI models, the worm infected half a test network in five days, exploiting known vulnerabilities across Windows, Linux, and IoT devices. Experts call it a wake-up call for cybersecurity preparedness.
