'Rocky' star Dolph Lundgren has high hopes for AI's use in cancer research

FOX News

The'America's Got Talent' judge told Fox News Digital why he doesn't like AI technology in songwriting. "Rocky IV" star Dolph Lundgren is looking forward to seeing artificial intelligence used in the medical field. "AI I'm sure will be extremely useful," Lundgren told Fox News Digital. He continued, "They used it to find that COVID vaccine so quickly. And they've actually taken those same algorithms and used it in cancer research [I know] because I'm a little bit involved in that now. Earlier this year, CNBC reported that Moderna had partnered with IBM to use generative AI and quantum computing to advance mRNA technology, a key component in the company's COVID-19 vaccine. The agreement could help speed up Moderna's work on new vaccines and therapies. Last month, Insilico Medicine, an AI-driven biotech company based in Hong Kong and New York City, recently announced that its new AI-designed drug for COVID-19 has entered Phase I clinical trials, and could become an alternative to current antivirals like Paxlovid and Lagevrio. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? Dolph Lundgren hopes AI "will be extremely useful" when it comes to cancer research. Lundgren has been battling cancer since 2015 after doctors found a tumor in his kidney. He underwent surgery and was doing well until 2020, when additional tumors were discovered. In 2021, he was told one tumor had grown to the "size of a lemon" and was inoperable, but he later sought a second opinion, and alternative treatments were made available to the actor. Lundgren told Fox News Digital that he is now doing well, though still facing a somewhat tough road. "Last time I checked, you know, everything was good," he said. "There is no cancer, and they check the blood for cancer cells." Dolph Lundgren told Fox News Digital that he is doing well with his cancer treatments and lives "a normal life now." He continued, "I think I'll always have to be on some kind of treatment and be aware of this, but I live a normal life now.

Keeping Cows Happy and Soil Healthy With AI and Open Source Data Management

#artificialintelligence

To map every gene in the human body, scientists around the world collaborated for more than a decade, from 1990 to 2003. Thanks to their work, entire vistas of medicine have opened up, from new diagnoses to drug regimens tailored to an individual's genetic makeup. What if, posits Dorn Cox, a produce farmer in New Hampshire, the same could be done for the world's soil? With detailed knowledge of the nutrients in their soil, farmers could better tend their dirt and significantly reduce negative environmental impacts. For example, they could better learn what to plant and when, or how to maximize soil nutrients and track carbon content (more carbon in the soil means less carbon in the atmosphere).
