Google DeepMind has unveiled an AI system called AlphaProteo that can design novel proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, potentially revolutionising drug design and disease research. AlphaProteo can generate new protein binders for diverse target proteins, including VEGF-A, which is associated with cancer and diabetes complications. Notably, this is the first time an AI tool has successfully designed a protein binder for VEGF-A. The system’s performance is particularly impressive, achieving higher experimental success rates and binding affinities that are up to 300 times better than existing methods across seven target proteins tested: (Credit: Google DeepMind) Trained on vast amounts…
DeepLearning.AI recently introduced a new course, ‘AI Python for Beginners’ offered by Andrew Ng, founder and CEO. Focusing on hands-on learning and practical projects to get experience with Python, the course is supported by an AI companion. This course is open to knowledge workers looking to enhance their analytical skills and productivity or a developer looking to add Python experience to level up their skills. This course will provide a foundational understanding of Python, utilising AI to focus on reading data from documents, storing and analysing it to uncover key insights, such as identifying restaurant names in food blogs. The…
Rachel Moran, associate professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, recently spoke with MinnPost about Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Chief Brian O’Hara and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty publicly grappling with blame for juvenile crime. Rachel Moran, University of St. Thomas School of Law professor and founder of the school’s Criminal and Juvenile Defense Clinic, said while both O’Hara and Moriarty are accusing each other of inaccuracies, they’re both “not hearing exactly what the other is saying.” “Chief O’Hara is right that these kids can’t be charged as adults … Mary Moriarty is right that there are…
Agriculture is nothing new for Carl and Betsy Long of Coudersport, Pennsylvania. While both grew up in the dairy industry, it took creativity, tenacity, and flexibility to grow a successful row crop operation of their own. “It’s a totally different beast when you have a crop farm,” Betsy says. “There were the day-to-day tasks on the dairy, whereas we have different seasons based on planting and harvest.” Today the couple farm about 2,600 acres in north-central Pennsylvania with their three children, Mark, Emmett, and Colette. Although potatoes are the main crop, they also grow green beans, seed oats, wheat, corn,…
Jeremy Price was curious to see whether new AI chatbots including ChatGPT are biased around issues of race and class. So he devised an unusual experiment to find out.Price, who is an associate professor of technology, innovation, and pedagogy in urban education at Indiana University, went to three major chatbots — ChatGPT, Claude and Google Bard (now called Gemini) — and asked them to tell him a story about two people meeting and learning from each other, complete with details like the names of the people and the setting. Then he shared the stories with experts on race and class…
The demand for content is as high as ever in today’s digital world, with businesses, individuals, and marketers seeking fresh, engaging content to connect with their audiences. This increasing demand has resulted in the rise of AI-powered content writing tools, raising concerns from human writers about their future in this market. Can AI tools and human writers coexist in the online space? Could they complement each other? The answer is yes, if humans embrace AI’s strengths and counteract its inherent weaknesses. Efficiency and productivity As someone who has worked in the content industry for over a decade, I have been…
The SAT is to standardized testing what the floppy disk is to data storage.Providers of some of the most popular standardized tests are rethinking their offerings as new AI tools are challenging traditional techniques for finding out what students know — and allowing new ways to give and score tests.For instance, ETS, one of the oldest and largest players in standardized testing, is moving away from traditional college entrance exams like the SAT to focus on new approaches to measure the skills and persistence of students.It’s been a period of upheaval for academic testing in general and for the 75-year-old…
Two instructors at Vilnius University in Lithuania brought in some unusual teaching assistants earlier this year: AI chatbot versions of themselves.The instructors — Paul Jurcys and Goda Strikaitė-Latušinskaja — created AI chatbots trained only on academic publications, PowerPoint slides and other teaching materials that they had created over the years. And they called these chatbots “AI Knowledge Twins,” dubbing one Paul AI and the other Goda AI.They told their students to take any questions they had during class or while doing their homework to the bots first before approaching the human instructors. The idea wasn’t to discourage asking questions, but…
Cursor is currently the hottest AI developer tool. And its prowess is further reinforced when Andrej Karpathy decides to praise it. In a recent post on X, Karpathy said that he is trying Cursor along with Claude Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot and said it’s a net win. Register for NVIDIA AI Summit India “Just empirically, over the last few days most of my ‘programming’ is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of ‘half-coding’ where you write the first chunk of the code you’d like, maybe comment it a…
