Scientists discover potential hearing loss reversal using arginine and Viagra for genetic mutations. New research offers hope for inherited deafness.

Artificial Intelligence poses both risks and rewards, but developers should be weary of technologies that could threaten "scary" outcomes, AI technologist says. Men who have trouble finding dates are reportedly turning to artificial intelligence and self-described love guru to craft appealing dating profiles. "My AI prompts and training can turn any guy from zero to hero," Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, a 32-year-old London model and self-described love guru, told South West News Service, according to the New York Post. Tomlin operates a website called Celebrity Love Coach where subscribers can pay between roughly $55 to $150 a month to receive his advice and "support to help you achieve your dating goals," according to the website. Subscribers also receive access to "bespoke" AI to draft appealing dating profiles.

Until few years ago, #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) was similar to nuclear fusion in unfulfilled promise. It had been around a long time but had not reached the spectacular heights foreseen in its initial stages. However now, Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the future. It's realizing its potential in achieving man-like capabilities, so it's the right time to ask: How can business leaders adapt AI to take advantage of the specific strengths of man and machine? AI is swiftly becoming the foundational technology in areas as diverse as self-driving cars, financial trading, connected houses etc. Self-learning algorithms are now routinely embedded in mobile and online services.

Co-founded in 2014 with Tim Guilliams, the Cambridge-based startup uses artificial intelligence to identify existing drugs that have already been …

Treatments for new or drug-resistant infectious diseases may already be in our medicine cabinets, say the molecular biologists responsible for developing an artificial-intelligence system that can predict unknown antibiotic properties of existing drugs. The hope is that the work will result in an armoury of new treatments that can be rushed into service when standard treatments stop being effective or new pathogens arise. "In the case of new infectious diseases, there might be no time to develop a completely new drug from the ground up," says Artem Cherkasov of the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada, who made the proposal this week at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. However, if the new AI system suggests an existing drug might be an effective antibiotic, it could be quickly tested for efficacy, and then pushed into service, Cherkasov says. And because these drugs would have already been approved for use in people, they wouldn't have to go through all the clinical trials and lengthy regulatory approvals required of brand-new drugs.

STOCKHOLM – It is serendipity: from America to Viagra, history is full of great discoveries helped along by chance, as more than a century of Nobel prizes can attest. Among the chance discoveries that have been honored with the prestigious prize are X-rays (physics, 1901), penicillin (medicine, 1945), fullerenes that paved the way for nanotechnology (chemistry, 1996), conductive polymers (chemistry, 2000), and the bacteria responsible for ulcers (medicine, 2005). But, as the father of pasteurization Louis Pasteur noted in 1854, "In the fields of observation, chance only favors the prepared mind" -- a remark made in reference to the discovery of the link between electricity and magnetism by Danish scientist Hans Christian Orsted. Orsted happened to notice that a compass needle deflected from magnetic north when an electric current from a battery was switched on and off -- a pioneering discovery in electromagnetism. Like Pasteur, Dutch scientist Pek Van Andel also believes in the unexpected.
