Gene expression is inherently dynamic, due to complex regulation and stochastic biochemical events. Here the authors train a deep neural network to predict and dynamically control gene expression in thousands of individual bacteria in real-time which they then apply to control antibiotic resistance and study single-cell survival dynamics.

A team of roboticists at the University of Tokyo has taken a new approach to autonomous driving—instead of automating the entire car, simply put a robot in the driver’s seat. The group built a robot capable of driving a car and tested it on a real-world track. They also published a paper describing their efforts on the arXiv preprint server.

Elon Musk says Tesla could make 100 million Optimus robots a year, costing $10k-20k each, to do everything from babysitting to working in factories, leading to the population of humanoid robots exceeding that of humans.

Predicting how proteins bind to other molecules could revolutionize biochemistry, drug discovery.

Colin Jacobs, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Medical Imaging at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and Kiran Vaidhya Venkadesh, a second-year PhD candidate with the Diagnostic Image Analysis Group at Radboud University Medical Center discuss their 2021 Radiology study, which used CT images from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) to train a deep learning algorithm to estimate the malignancy risk of lung nodules.

AI is quickly becoming a regular part of children’s lives. What happens next?

Salesforce recently announced that it has introduced more than 50 AI-powered tools among its workforce and reported that these tools have collectively saved all of its employees in excess of 50,000 hours—or 24 years’ worth—of working time in just three months.

As a company, Salesforce serves as an especially compelling case study for the impact of AI on work—not only because the company tests tools on their own workforce, but because so many others rely on Salesforce’s products to do their jobs each day. Simply put: Salesforce is in the business of work.

Salesforce has more than 70,000 employees worldwide—a 30% increase since 2020. And the software giant builds the products that are used by employees at some 150,000 workplaces, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies; from sales and customer service teams to marketing and tech teams.

Apple’s first reveal of the new macOS Sequoia includes a way to remote control your iPhone directly from the Mac, and a new Apple Passwords app.

Announced in the WWDC 2024 keynote, macOS 15 is called macOS Sequoia, and as expected, it brings AI — or Apple Intelligence — to every platform and practically every feature.

Across macOS Sequoia and Apple’s other platforms, users can write, summarize, and proofread text almost system-wide with Writing Tools. It will be able to generate sketches, animations, or illustrations with Image Playground, which is built into apps including Messages — and has its own brand-new app too.

There are plenty of reasons why Google would be interested in going down this route. For example, closer integration would make Android handsets more compatible with Chromebooks. However, it appears the main reason for the move is to accelerate the delivery of AI features.

As the Mountain View-based firm explains, having Chrome OS lean more on Android’s tech stack will make it easier to bring new AI features to Chromebooks. The company adds that along with the change, it wants to maintain the “security, consistent look and feel, and extensive management capabilities” that users are acquainted with.

Google is working on the updates starting today, but notes that users won’t see the changes for a while. The tech giant claims that when everything is ready, the transition will be seamless.
