OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has stated that there is a need for an international agency to oversee powerful future AI models to ensure their safety. Altman argued that these frontier AI systems could potentially cause significant global harm, so they should be treated with the same level of attention as things like nuclear weapons or…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology researchers from multiple institutions including the Institute of Structural Biology, Technical University of Munich, and others have developed a novel approach to drug discovery, named MISATO. This innovative model is designed to enhance the process of drug design, a critical aspect within the broader field of computational chemistry and structural biology.…
A new study from MIT researchers suggests that doctors are less accurate in diagnosing skin diseases on patients with darker skin through images alone. The study analyzed the accuracy of over 1,000 dermatologists and general practitioners and found that dermatologists correctly diagnosed about 38% of the images they saw, but only 34% for those of…
After a nerve-racking flying experience, aerospace engineer Hector (Haofeng) Xu was inspired to make helicopter flight safer. In 2021, he founded autonomous helicopter company Rotor Technologies, Inc. This company retrofits existing helicopters with sensors and software to automate dangerous flights and prevent pilot accidents. Xu was pursuing his PhD at MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and…
