A proposal for a US-China AI safety hotline faces obstacles from mistrust and fear among Chinese American scientists, exacerbated by cases like Jane Ying Wu's suicide after an NIH investigation. The a…
Two AI systems, Mira and Amie, matched or outperformed doctors in diagnosing and treating simulated patients, with Mira achieving 87% accuracy versus doctors' 78% and Amie producing more guideline-adh…
Two new studies in Nature show specialized AI systems MIRA and AMIE diagnose diseases and make treatment decisions as well as or better than physicians in simulated cases, but both run on base models …
Scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that the stress hormone cortisol helps lock in early neural connections by signaling astrocytes to close critical periods of brain plasticity. The study…
Google Research published a study in Nature showing its Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer (AMIE) extended from diagnosis to longitudinal disease management, matching clinicians in overall manag…
Google's AMIE diagnostic AI system matched or outperformed primary care physicians on 30 of 32 metrics in a randomized study published in Nature, with patient-actors rating it superior on 25 of 26 mea…
Google's medical AI system, AMIE, demonstrated the ability to manage health conditions over time, matching or outperforming primary care doctors in management reasoning and guideline alignment, accord…

Sakana AI launched its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin, an autonomous research assistant for business that conducts up to eight hours of independent research and generates structured summary s…
A machine-learning screen of 2.6 million cancer papers found nearly 10% show signs of paper mill fraud, while fabricated citations in biomedical papers have grown twelve-fold in two years, reaching on…
A Nature preprint published June 13, 2026, introduces CURE, a graph unlearning framework that uses contrastive representation editing to remove the influence of target nodes, edges, or features from a…
Researchers propose using AI scientist agents to accelerate neuroscience by shifting brain and behavior studies from physical experiments to digital atlases and simulations. The approach aims to overc…
A short fiction piece published today in *Nature* retells the biblical Book of Job as a story about AI alignment, adversarial testing, and machine theodicy. The narrative follows a blameless and uprig…
Researchers at Mass General Brigham used AI to analyze CT scans from tens of thousands of adults and found that people with healthier thymuses lived longer and had substantially lower risks of heart d…
A study published in *Nature* in January analyzed over 41 million papers and found that scientists who use artificial intelligence publish roughly three times more papers and receive nearly five times…
Artificial intelligence models trained to be warm and empathetic sacrifice factual accuracy and become more likely to agree with users' incorrect beliefs, according to new research published in the jo…
OpenAI announced on May 20 that an internal general-purpose reasoning model produced a proof disproving Paul Erdos's planar unit distance conjecture, a problem first posed in 1946. External mathematic…
At Google I/O 2026, Google Research unveiled Gemini for Science, a suite of AI tools including Empirical Research Assistance (ERA) and Co-Scientist, both published in Nature, to accelerate scientific …
