Tevogen uses AI to boost immunotherapy research with new partnerships

Tevogen is using artificial intelligence in its Tevogen.AI initiative to improve its ExacTcell technology. They are partnering with Microsoft and Databricks to use machine learning and predictive modeling. This will help Tevogen Bio find targets faster, speed up clinical trials, and lower costs. Tevogen.AI has two technologies called PredicTcell and AdapTcell, which are designed to predict how immune cells will react and help create new therapies.

AI is making teachers' jobs harder, educators say

Teachers are struggling with students using AI tools like ChatGPT to write essays and complete assignments. Many teachers report spending hours grading work that wasn't written by the student. Some teachers are banning AI, but it's hard to detect and enforce. Professors are rethinking how they teach and grade to address the challenges posed by AI.

From wine to AI Laura Rosenberger helps businesses use AI

Laura Rosenberger, COO of Artanis, helps businesses use AI to improve their operations. Artanis focuses on using AI to add value to businesses, not just as a novelty. They work with companies to automate tasks, like report generation, and create AI-powered products, like study tutors. Rosenberger advises businesses to understand their needs before implementing AI and to partner with experts to build reliable AI systems.

AI could automate white-collar jobs within five years, researchers warn

Researchers at Anthropic, an AI startup, predict that artificial intelligence could automate many white-collar jobs in the next five years. They say even current AI models are good enough to do many office tasks if given the right data. This could lead to big changes in the job market and the economy. They suggest countries should start planning for a future where AI can do most desk jobs.

AI helps create precision care in healthcare

Healthcare leaders discussed how AI and data can improve patient care at the HIMSS25 conference. They believe precision care, using data to prevent and treat diseases early, is the future. AI can help doctors make better diagnoses and provide more effective treatments. Experts say it's important to partner with others to develop AI models and use data to provide the right care at the right time.

Coalition for Health AI validates AI models for healthcare

The Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) has started its first partnership to test AI models for healthcare. They will use software from BeeKeeper AI and data from Mount Sinai and Morehouse to check how well AI models work. The first use will be for AI models that help with chronic heart failure. This testing will help AI models get to market faster and ensure they work well for different groups of patients.

AI coding tools empower small businesses with tech

Small businesses are using AI coding assistants to cut costs and improve their technology. These AI tools help generate code and fix bugs, allowing smaller teams to do more. Companies like SleekFlow and The Gnar Company are using AI to speed up development and outperform larger teams. While AI can't replace experienced engineers, it helps small businesses create products faster and test ideas.

Tenable buys Apex Security to improve AI cyber protection

Tenable is buying Apex Security to improve its exposure management platform with AI. Apex Security's technology will help Tenable find and reduce cyber risks created by AI. This includes risks from AI apps and AI-generated code. This is Tenable's ninth purchase since 2018, showing its commitment to helping companies protect themselves from cyber threats.
