New AI tool uses routine blood tests to predict immunotherapy response for many cancers
Posted by Ian Hale in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI
Doctors around the world may soon have access to a new tool that could better predict whether individual cancer patients will benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors—a type of immunotherapy—using only routine blood tests and clinical data.
The artificial intelligence–based model, dubbed SCORPIO, was developed by a team of researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai.
The model is not only cheaper and more accessible, it’s significantly better at predicting outcomes than the two current biomarkers approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to findings published in Nature Medicine.

Meta appoints UFC’s president to its board
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: business, robotics/AI, wearables
Meta has appointed three new members to its board of directors, the company announced Monday: UFC president and CEO Dana White, European investment company Exor CEO John Elkann, and tech investor and entrepreneur Charlie Songhurst.
In a press release, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that White, Elkann, and Songhurst “will add a depth of expertise and perspective” that’ll help Meta “tackle the massive opportunities ahead with AI, wearables, and the future of human connection.”
White was named CEO of UFC in 2023, after the organization merged with WWE to form a new public company, TKO Group Holdings. He’s responsible for the overall strategic direction of UFC’s global business, including its live events series.

AI unveils strange chip designs, while discovering new functionalities
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
Specialized microchips that manage signals at the cutting edge of wireless technology are astounding works of miniaturization and engineering. They’re also difficult and expensive to design.
Now, researchers at Princeton Engineering and the Indian Institute of Technology have harnessed artificial intelligence to take a key step toward slashing the time and cost of designing new wireless chips and discovering new functionalities to meet expanding demands for better wireless speed and performance.
In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers describe their methodology, in which an AI creates complicated electromagnetic structures and associated circuits in microchips based on the design parameters. What used to take weeks of highly skilled work can now be accomplished in hours.

Introducing Gemini 2.0: our new AI model for the agentic era
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: robotics/AI
Now millions of developers are building with Gemini. And it’s helping us reimagine all of our products — including all 7 of them with 2 billion users — and to create new ones. NotebookLM is a great example of what multimodality and long context can enable for people, and why it’s loved by so many.
Over the last year, we have been investing in developing more agentic models, meaning they can understand more about the world around you, think multiple steps ahead, and take action on your behalf, with your supervision.
Today we’re excited to launch our next era of models built for this new agentic era: introducing Gemini 2.0, our most capable model yet. With new advances in multimodality — like native image and audio output — and native tool use, it will enable us to build new AI agents that bring us closer to our vision of a universal assistant.

NVIDIA, TSMC Develop Advanced Silicon Photonic Chip Prototype, Says Report
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
NVIDIA and TSMC have developed a silicon photonics-based chip prototype, according to a report in the Taiwanese press. TSMC is the world’s leading contract chip manufacturer, and with Intel’s troubles, it has also established itself as the most advanced chip manufacturer on the planet. Silicon photonics is an emerging chip manufacturing technology that blends photonic circuits with traditional circuits to overcome physical limitations with semiconductor fabrication. According to the report, the prototype was developed late last year, with NVIDIA and TSMC also working on optical packaging technologies to improve AI chip performance.
NVIDIA & TSMC Are Working On Advanced Packaging Technologies, Says Report
TSMC’s latest chip manufacturing technology, the 2-nanometer node, is believed to have a minimum gate and metal pitches of 45 and 20 nanometers, respectively. In semiconductor fabrication, a gate pitch measures the distance between two gates on a chip, while a metal pitch measures the distance between two metal interconnects. A gate controls the flow of electrons on a transistor, while an interconnect ensures inter-transistor communication on a chip.
