🧠 Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) helps doctors make better diagnoses, scientists create new materials, farmers grow crops more effectively and all of us driving cars - and millions of other applications. This topic also covers subsets of AI such as machine learning (ML), deep learning and neural networks.
🔎 We were supposed to be flooded with AI disinformation... now 800 million have voted, where is it?
We faced a "tech-driven Armageddon" and experts ranked AI disinformation as the second biggest global threat this year. Have you noticed much of it?
🦠 AI discovers nearly 1 million new antibiotics - progress in the fight against antibiotic resistance
Researchers used AI to analyze genetic data from tens of thousands of bacteria and other organisms. Nearly one million potential antibiotic compounds were identified, with 79% able to kill at least one microbe. AI has drastically accelerated the process.
👨🏫 Microsoft to train a quarter million Swedes in AI
The largest investment from Microsoft in Sweden to date. Among other things, 20,000 GPUs will be installed in the company's data centers and 250,000 Swedes will be trained in AI.
🧬 AlphaFold 3 is here! Predicting structures of almost all biological molecules and their interactions
AlphaFold 3 is designed to predict the structure and interactions between biological molecules. Experimentally investigating these interactions can be time-consuming and costly. If these interactions can instead be accurately computed, biological research could be significantly expedited.
🤖 Is your job threatened by AI? Here's how you should NOT act
Can AI do tasks that are part of your job? Should you then fight and try to stop that kind of AI? That opinion is now being expressed. Instead, there is now a great chance to level up yourself with the help of AI. It will be much more successful.

The OpenCRISPR initiative aims to democratize gene technology and accelerate the development of customized genetic treatments. By making this technology available, Profluent hopes to increase access and reduce the costs of gene editing treatments.
🧠 BrainLM uses the same principles as ChatGPT to interpret brain activity, offering faster analyses
Instead of learning from text and images, BrainLM is trained to interpret functional images from the brain. This facilitates comprehensive studies in neuroscience and improves understanding of human cognition.
🖥️ Should Sweden invest in models or increase the use of AI? – report from the second meeting of the AI Commission
The AI Commission's second meeting was held in Gothenburg. There, as you know, people take the tram. Besides that, we discussed whether Sweden should invest in AI models or increase the use of AI, or perhaps both?
🦾 Chatbot convinced conspiracy theorists to reconsider their beliefs
