If they succeed in accelerating medical research a little bit, perhaps all the money earned from dodgy ads will serve a purpose.
The billionaire couple is shifting the bulk of their philanthropic resources to Biohub, the pair’s science organization, and focusing on using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery.
Zuckerberg, Chan shift bulk of philanthropy to science, focusing on AI and biology to curb disease
For the past decade, Dr. Priscilla Chan and her husband Mark Zuckerberg have focused part of their philanthropy on a lofty goal — “to cure, prevent or manage all disease” — if not in their lifetime, then in their children’s.

Well at least if everything is AI we don't have the problem of detecting fakes... :)

Each young girl discouraged by persisting gender issues could mean a great scientific discovery that never will be. Looking forward to the next generating doing better and maybe building some new great scientific AI!
Happy Women in Physics Day to all of the amazing women and gender minorities in physics!! We are still greatly under-represented at all levels, so we need to continue encouraging girls and young women to consider studying physics and make systemic changes to the climate in the field. ⚛️ 🎢 👩🔬 🧪

How could we search a near-infinite universe without our best tools for big data. :)
In a significant advance for astronomy, researchers from the Breakthrough Listen initiative, working in collaboration with NVIDIA and utilizing their system on the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array, have enhanced the process for detecting Fast Radio Bursts. 🧪 🔭

This is the type of scientific AI that can really make a difference. TB is one of the biggest killers worldwide, but getting both sufficient resources into rural will likely never happen. AI that is both cheap and accurate can make a big difference here and help boost health and productivity.
There's a global shortage of radiologists. Now artificial intelligence is helping speed up the diagnosis of tuberculosis in hard-to-reach communities. n.pr/49BWN3Z

It used to be easy to make a quick 50mb mailbox on your $10 domain. Now each account needs cloud storage, office programs and AI while most people's job only requires one or two of the available tools and no 2TB storage. Something to consider before unilaterally raising prices.

Power-efficient models, training methods and hardware will be at least as important to the future as building more and more data centers.
The rapid proliferation of services powered by artificial intelligence, ranging from the genuinely useful to the frivolous to the unnecessary, has a common element: the need for vast amounts of electricity and water for the data centers that make them possible.

As AI often blindly consumes the internet, only to pollute it afterwards it's worth thinking about the future of information sharing. Do we take action to safeguard the internet? Do we trust and tolerate a limited number of LLM companies to become the source of truth for all information?

One of the reasons we chose AI for characterization as one of our main applications is its ability to accelerate research in many different fields. Glad to see it also help cancer research. :)
A new technique combines lasers, fluorescent dyes and artificial intelligence to "tag" cells with abnormal chromosomes that may become cancerous.

Geographical bias in LLMs is a big problem. Initiatives like the EUs GenAI4Africa try to level the playing field but even when funding models, sufficient compute infrastructure is also not available both to train and deploy models. What do you think are the steps to equality?
"Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Siri or Google Assistant are developed by the global north and trained in English, Chinese or European languages. In comparison, African languages are largely missing from the internet."

African languages for AI: the project that’s gathering a huge new dataset
When a language isn’t in the data, its speakers aren’t in the product – and AI cannot be safe, useful, or fair for them.

In the end you can't lose with investing in compute. If someone suddenly invents highly efficient neuromorphic chips however then a few bubbles could pop if production could keep up. :)
Despite the risk of a bubble, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon plan to spend billions more on artificial intelligence than they already do.
