AlphaFold3 can predict the structures of proteins as they interact with DNA.Credit: Werel et al./American Society for MicrobiologyMol*, RCSB PDB AlphaFold3 is open at last. Six months after Google DeepMind controversially withheld code from a paper describing the protein-structure prediction model, scientists can now download the software code and use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool […]
Meta has defeated a lawsuit—for now—that attempted to invoke Section 230 protections for a third-party tool that would have made it easy for Facebook users to toggle on and off their news feeds as they pleased. The lawsuit was filed by Ethan Zuckerman, a professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst. He feared that Meta might […]
The texting example is particularly good at getting the point across, at least to me—my times averaged about 14 seconds to complete the task. Had I been behind the wheel of an actual car at that speed, I would have traveled more than 1,400 feet (426 m) with my eyes on the phone during that […]
A few months ago, my doctor showed off an AI transcription tool he used to record and summarize his patient meetings. In my case, the summary was fine, but researchers cited by ABC News have found that’s not always the case with OpenAI’s Whisper, which powers a tool many hospitals use — sometimes it just […]
In some cases, AI does a better job than a human mediator at summarizing the collective opinion of a group. Credit: Rawpixel Ltd/Getty A chatbot-like tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can help people with differing views to find areas of agreement, an experiment with online discussion groups has shown. The model, developed by Google […]
“That’s wizardry” The on-stage demo showed off rotations for a number of varied images, from largely symmetrical dragons, horses, and bats to more complex shapes like a sketch of a bread basket or a living cup of fries (complete with arms, legs, eyes, and a mouth). In each case, the machine-learning algorithm does an admirable […]
Credit: Nature Protocols (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41596-024-01046-3 A research team led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a computational workflow for analyzing large data sets in the field of metabolomics, the study of small molecules found within cells, biofluids, tissues, and entire ecosystems. Most recently, the team applied this new computational tool […]
