Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome AI tackles the 98% of human genome that doesn't code for proteins

Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaGenome, a deep-learning AI model that predicts how mutations in non-coding DNA affect gene expression across sequences up to one million base pairs long. The tool outperforms existing models in 25 out of 26 tasks and is already being used by nearly 3,000 scientists worldwide to investigate rare diseases, cancer mutations, and design new gene therapies.

AI discovers 800 cosmic anomalies in Hubble Space Telescope archives, some defy classification

Researchers at the European Space Agency developed an AI tool called AnomalyMatch that scanned 35 years of Hubble Space Telescope data in just two and a half days. The neural network discovered more than 1,300 cosmic anomalies, including 800 never-before-documented objects. Among them were galaxy mergers, gravitational lenses, and dozens of objects that defy existing classification schemes entirely.

New Android malware uses AI to commit ad fraud, bypassing traditional security defenses

Security researchers have uncovered a sophisticated Android malware strain that uses Google's TensorFlow machine learning library to automate ad clicks in hidden browsers. The malware affects over 155,000 downloads across games distributed through Xiaomi's GetApps store and third-party platforms, operating covertly while draining batteries and inflating mobile data charges.

AI models fall for the same optical illusions as humans, revealing how both brains work

Researchers discovered that AI models experience optical illusions the same way humans do when shown the rotating snakes illusion. The breakthrough suggests both artificial and biological vision systems rely on predictive coding—a mechanism that anticipates future visual input rather than passively processing images. This finding could finally explain why our brains get tricked by certain patterns.
