AI Discovers Two New Antibiotics for Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea
Credit: RUSLANAS BARANAUSKAS/ Science Photo Library / Getty Images Scientists have developed a deep learning model that could significantly accelerate the discovery of novel antibiotic compounds. In a study published today in Science Translational Medicine , the AI algorithm was able to identify two compounds effective against gonorrhea infections, each operating through mechanisms unlike those
At U.S. Senate Hearing, a Call for AI That Protects ‘Human Judgment’ in Schools
Washington , D.C. - State and school district leaders need to press for guardrails on AI use in schools, while also acknowledging that the technology’s rapid development makes teacher training critical, witnesses at a U.S. Senate hearing said Tuesday. The hearing—organized by the Senate Subcommittee on Education & the American Family—examined the adjustments policymakers need
Retinal Photos and AI Predict Early Alzheimer’s Risk – Neuroscience News
Summary: A new study that used artificial intelligence to analyze routine eye photographs has unlocked a cheap, non-invasive method for predicting major Alzheimer’s disease risk factors decades before clinical symptoms appear. By training machine learning models on retinal photographs from over 40,000 patients in a UK-based databank, the research team successfully mapped specific regions of
The Roadmap to Becoming an LLM Engineer in 2026 – KDnuggets
# Introduction An LLM engineer is not the same thing as a general machine learning engineer. Where a machine learning engineer might spend months training a neural network from scratch, an LLM engineer's work centers on adapting, orchestrating, and serving pretrained large language models (LLMs). The job is to take a capable foundation model
Surgically Relevant Knee Phenotypes: The Modified Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee System—A Deep Learning–Based Classification
New research from Hospital for Special Surgery highlights how artificial intelligence can help advance personalized knee arthroplasty by improving the way surgeons understand and classify knee alignment. The traditional Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification describes nine knee phenotypes based on constitutional limb alignment and joint line obliquity. While widely recognized, variability in
