The Rise of AI in Protein Design: Inside David Baker's 'Communal Brain'

David Baker, a biochemist at the University of Washington, is at the forefront of using artificial intelligence to design entirely new proteins—a capability that was nearly impossible just a few years ago. The Communal Brain Approach Baker's team has built a collaborative ecosystem where researchers worldwide can

JARVIS Challenge Explores AI Copilots in High-Stakes Engineering Tasks

The JARVIS Challenge represents a new framework for assessing AI systems in the context of tough-tech engineering, using jet engine manufacturing as a demanding test case. The initiative aims to move beyond simple benchmark scores and evaluate how well AI can function as a genuine "copilot"—working alongside

Google DeepMind Chief Calls for US-Led Body to Test Frontier AI Models

Google DeepMind's chief executive is calling for the establishment of a United States-led international body to test and evaluate frontier AI models before widespread deployment. The proposal aims to create standardized safety protocols and testing procedures for the most advanced AI systems currently in development. The initiative reflects

Nobel Prize Winners and Experts Convene at Vatican to Discuss Nuclear War and AI Risks

Vatican Hosts High-Level Discussion on AI and Nuclear Threats Nobel prize winners and experts recently convened at Borgo Laudato Si, the Vatican's initiative focused on integral ecology, to discuss the pressing intersections of artificial intelligence and nuclear warfare. The gathering brought together leading minds to examine how advancing

Large Language Models Often Prioritize Western Moral Values, Overlooking Other Cultures

A growing body of research is highlighting a significant limitation in how large language models (LLMs) approach ethical reasoning. Studies suggest these AI systems often prioritize Western moral values, raising questions about cultural bias in AI that is increasingly deployed worldwide. The issue stems partly from how these models are

The US-China AI Competition Takes an Unexpected Direction

The Shifting Landscape of US-China AI Competition The ongoing artificial intelligence competition between the United States and China has taken an unexpected turn, according to new analysis published in New Scientist. The dynamics of this high-stakes technological rivalry appear to be evolving in ways that challenge initial predictions about which

CRS Analysis Flags Gaps in Trump's Frontier AI Executive Order

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has released an analysis of the executive order on frontier AI systems signed by President Trump, identifying significant gaps in the policy framework. According to the CRS review, the order's approach to AI development and safety relies substantially on voluntary participation from industry
