A new study in which artificial intelligence outperformed expert virologists in specialized laboratory tasks is raising hopes for faster biomedical breakthroughs and fears about bioweapon risks. Researchers tested leading AI models against the Virology Capabilities Test, a benchmark designed to assess expert-level knowledge in virology and wet lab protocols. The results suggest that AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o surpassed the accuracy of most human virologists.

With the ongoing AI arms race between the US and China, it’s not far-fetched for the Pentagon to use generative AI in military operations. The Department of Defense is moving into the second phase of military AI adoption, leveraging generative models to support ground operations and intelligence analysis. This effort builds on earlier AI breakthroughs to assist field personnel. The first phase began in 2017 with Project Maven, which used computer vision to analyze field photos and satellite images.

Two recent developments in AI and astrophysics might be crucial to humanity’s quest for finding extraterrestrial life and spacecraft in the vastness of space. One is the NASA-inspired, AI-powered infrared camera to scan the skies and detect Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The other is the new Bern-based machine learning (ML) model to identify Earth-like exoplanets.

Artificial intelligence and satellites have been deployed to track extensive infrastructure damage caused by the 7.7-magnitude earthquake to help aid workers in Myanmar. At midday on March 28, an earthquake hit Southeast Asia, collapsing buildings, dams, roads, and bridges. The disaster has already left more than 2,700 people dead or injured, and the death toll is expected to reach 10,000. The worst-hit city is Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-most populous city, home to more than 1.7 million residents.
