• Harvard Business Review's latest research reveals that generative AI is already impacting the labor market, particularly for gig workers. The study, analyzing over a million job listings, shows significant short-term job replacement, especially in automation-prone fields like writing and coding. This shift suggests potential long-term changes in labor market dynamics, bringing both challenges and opportunities.

• Google DeepMind has made AlphaFold3, its AI protein-prediction tool, open source. This allows academic scientists to download the software code and use it for non-commercial applications, enabling them to predict protein interactions with potential drugs. The decision follows criticism for initially withholding the code, and aims to foster research and innovation in fields like drug discovery.

• The Vatican and Microsoft have collaborated to create a digital twin of St. Peter's Basilica using AI, allowing for virtual exploration and aiding in conservation efforts. This project, which uses advanced photogrammetry and AI algorithms, helps manage visitor flows and identify structural issues, enhancing the experience for pilgrims and visitors.

• OpenAI and its rivals are exploring new training techniques to overcome the limitations of current AI models. These methods, which focus on more human-like ways for algorithms to "think," aim to reshape the AI arms race and address challenges such as delays, hardware failures, and resource demands. This shift comes as the traditional "bigger is better" approach has reached a plateau, prompting researchers to seek innovative solutions.

• The U.S. has ordered Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to halt shipments of advanced AI chips to China. This decision, targeting chips with 7-nanometer or more advanced designs, aims to prevent these chips from being used in AI applications that could pose a security threat. The move follows the discovery of a TSMC chip in a Huawei AI processor, raising concerns about potential violations of export controls.
