The OpenAI Foundation is funding a new effort called Data for Public Health. Last year Ruxandra Teslo, a policy analyst who focuses on clinical trials, posted an idea for supercharging medical AI systems: Use data from failed biotech companies. By bidding at their bankruptcy proceedings, she proposed, it might be possible to obtain detailed regulatory filings, manufacturing strategies, and safety data--types of information usually considered trade secrets. She called these documents " biotech's lost archive " and said they could be used to help train AIs that would act as powerful copilots in the often opaque drug approval process. Today the OpenAI Foundation, the nonprofit parent of OpenAI, said it would fund her idea as part of a new effort it calls Public Data for Health, which aims to help artificial intelligence make big leaps in medicine by paying to create "high-quality scientific datasets." The basic idea is that AI isn't going to be capable of making important breakthroughs in curing disease unless researchers can feed the models much more information than they have so far.

Interview with Yash Saxena: how is external knowledge used in AI systems? In a new series of interviews, we're meeting some of the PhD students that were selected to take part in the Doctoral Consortium at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) . In this first article of the series, we caught up with Yash Saxena to find out how he is trying to make it easier to understand how external knowledge is used in AI systems. Tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), advised by Dr. Manas Gaur in the Knowledge Infused AI and Inference (KAI2) Lab.

WIRED tested samples of four types of peptides. The results show how lightly regulated the industry is, even as popularity surges. The Mr. Green bodega sits on a busy stretch of Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Near the counter, you can buy the usual assortment of candy, gum, rolling papers, and soda. You can also purchase tiny vials of injectable peptides .

And what that came with for me was an absolute terror of quitting the day job, because there is no safety net. I was working retail in Toronto and Montreal. I became an assistant in New York. I had a really great job for a long time at The Rockefeller University. I was an admin in a cancer research lab, and I loved that. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by such smart people doing interesting work, and the health insurance was incredible. I kept that job until a year after came out.

Facing the greatest disaster in Los Angeles history, the county government did not have the plans and procedures in place it needed to jump-start a recovery after the January 2025 fires, a new review found. The new report suggested a slew of reforms to ensure the region is better prepared for the next major emergency, and noted that -- despite outdated or absent plans -- county employees and partners worked hard to provide many of the resources and support that fire survivors needed, often under exceptionally challenging circumstances.

SoftBank-backed SB Energy aims to raise $500 million from Japan for U.S. IPO The proceeds from SB Energy's public listing in Japan will be used to develop and build data centers and power plants. SB Energy, a data center firm backed by SoftBank Group, is aiming to raise as much as $500 million in the Japanese portion of its planned initial public offering (IPO) in the U.S., following other major deals tapping the country's deep pools of capital. The company will start taking investor orders as soon as this month, according to a local regulatory filing Tuesday. The proceeds will be used for developing and constructing infrastructure including data centers and power plants. SB Energy, whose strategic investors include OpenAI and Nvidia, filed for an IPO in the U.S. this month. Mizuho Financial Group, Daiwa Securities Group, PayPay Securities, Rakuten Securities and SBI Holdings will act as the selling agents for Mizuho's U.S. arm, according to the filing.

Warnings from researchers at Anthropic that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models could escape human control and even lead to the extinction of the human race have drawn attention in China, where policymakers have been preparing for some of the same risks. Beijing - Warnings from researchers at leading U.S. artificial intelligence developer Anthropic that increasingly powerful models could escape human control and even lead to the extinction of the human race have drawn attention in China, where policymakers have been preparing for some of the same risks. The U.S. and China are the two major driving forces of frontier AI development and the technology's global adoption. Both superpowers have been increasingly at loggerheads over each other's AI policies and industry practices, with these issues slated to feature prominently in bilateral talks later this month. Despite the race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems, regulatory frameworks and public statements from Beijing underscore how Chinese authorities regard the possibility of advanced AI escaping effective human oversight as serious enough to plan for. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
