🗞Elon Musk’s New “Stories” Feature on X

Elon Musk shared his plans to develop a new “Stories” feature on X that leverages AI algorithms to summarize and blend breaking news with real-time social media reactions.
Key Details:
xAI’s Grok-1.5 on the X platform will analyze and summarize thousands of users’ posts to generate real-time news summaries.
xAI’s Grok 1.5 will display a running list of headlines and integrate social reactions to develop breaking news.
Ben Smith, Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of Semafor, explained: “That’s actually what I used to rely on Twitter for—news and commentary.”
Why It’s Important:
Building real-time news summaries by leveraging X’s content instead of the articles themselves distances the social media platform from copyright lawsuits by established U.S. newspapers.
The new “Stories” feature on X could transform how we consume news by offering breaking stories with a social pulse that enables snapshots of public sentiment as events unfold.

🪖AI-Controlled Fighter Jet Flies U.S. Air Force Secretary

An AI-controlled F-16 fighter jet flew U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall across the California desert, marking one of the most significant advances in military aviation.
Key Details:
Last month, Kendall outlined his plans to fly an AI-controlled F-16 fighter jet called “Vista” to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee’s defense panel.
“Vista” flew Kendall with lightning-fast, responsive, and robust maneuvers that surpassed 550 miles an hour, applying pressure five times the force of gravity to his body.
Flying alongside “Vista” was a human-piloted F-16 fighter jet. The fighter jets raced within 1,000 feet of each other while performing air-to-air combat tactics.
“A computer won’t get tired or scared and will perform as close to a perfect maneuver as it can, whereas humans will always have some variability,” Kendall said.
Kendall claims there will always be human oversight within the AI algorithms when initiating autonomous weapon tasks.
Why It’s Important:
Arms control experts and humanitarian groups are worried that AI-enabled military assets will accelerate military decisions, reducing human input.
They also fear that when humans are under extreme stress, they’ll surrender to the AI algorithm rather than contemplate decisions to reduce the mental burden of the outcome.
The military’s shift to AI-enabled fighter jets improves security, reduces long-term costs, and enhances strategic capabilities.

AI RESEARCH
💊AI Estimates Drug Treatment Effectiveness?!
Ohio State University (OSU) researchers designed CURE, an AI model that emulates randomized clinical trials to estimate drug treatment effectiveness accurately.
CURE was front-loaded with millions of de-identified patient profiles from employers, health plans, and hospitals.
The OSU researchers initially pre-trained CURE on a massive cache of general data. Then, they fine-tuned the AI model with information addressing specific health conditions and treatments.
Ruoqi Liu, a computer science and engineering PhD student in Zhang’s lab, explained: “Our AI model could help identify a small group of candidate drugs that are effective to treat a disease, allowing clinicians to conduct randomized clinical trials on a limited scale.”
