AI that makes images
This is the year of the AI artists. Software models developed by Google, OpenAI, and others can now generate stunning artworks based on just a few text prompts. Type in a short description of pretty much anything, and you get a picture of what you asked for in seconds. Nothing will be the same again.Organs on demand
Every day, an
average of 17 people in the US alone die awaiting an organ transplant. These
people could be saved—and many others helped—by a potentially limitless supply
of healthy organs. Scientists are genetically engineering pigs whose organs
could be transplanted into humans and 3D-printing lungs using a patient’s own
cells.
Ancient DNA analysis
Genomic sequencing tools now let us read very old strands of human DNA. Studying traces from humans who lived long ago reveals much about who we are and why the modern world looks the way it does. It also helps scientists understand the lives of regular people living back then—not just those who could afford elaborate burials.
