Deep dives
American attitudes towards AI and AI risk
The latest survey results from the AI policy Institute reveal American attitudes towards AI and AI risk. The survey indicates that 64% of respondents support similar regulations to the EU AI Act, including testing requirements on foundation models. It also shows that 67% believe the US government should impose restrictions on AI training by private companies. In addition, 73% agree that the US should be a leader in setting AI rules.
UK Supreme Court ruling on AI-generated patents
The UK Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by a computer scientist seeking patents for inventions created by his AI system. The court ruled that an inventor must be a natural person. The scientist's lawyers argue that the ruling implies UK patent law is unsuitable for protecting autonomously generated AI inventions.
AI-assisted discovery of new antibiotics
Scientists from MIT and Harvard have utilized AI to identify new compounds effective against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. The AI algorithm screened millions of compounds and tested 283 promising ones, leading to the discovery of potential treatments for MRSA. This breakthrough could address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, which causes millions of deaths annually.
Anthropic is raising money again. Also on this episode, a new poll suggests Americans want more government involvement in AI.
