As we wrap up the year, we’re reflecting on what AI4Life delivered and what continues beyond the project.
AI4Life concluded in August 2025, but its outcomes remain central to FAIR, accessible AI-powered bioimage analysis.
Here’s where to start:

Twitter, pre-Elon had a whole safety team that made sure things like this did not happen.
What needs to happen now is that X needs to be sued into oblivion.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.
