Building AI to accelerate science and improve lives

Google highlights AI-for-science advances: AlphaGenome Atlas mapping 9 billion genetic variants, WeatherNext 3 weather model, and global health AI tools.

Google detailed AI advances across science and health, including AlphaGenome Atlas, which mapped all 9 billion possible single-letter genetic changes in the human genome and was made openly available. WeatherNext 3 delivers 50% more accurate precipitation forecasts a day or more ahead and is already in products. AlphaFold is used by 4 million researchers in 190 countries, TB chest X-ray screening has processed 25,000+ scans across six nations, and the diabetic retinopathy model has supported 1.15 million screenings. Google also released its AI & Economy ATLAS global usage insights.

Al Gore says the real AI risk isn’t data centers — it’s what industry leaders are warning about

Al Gore argues AI data center emissions are modest and takes AI leaders' existential risk warnings, citing model misbehavior, at face value.

In a TechCrunch interview with Generation Investment Management's Lila Preston, Al Gore said AI data center emissions are a fraction of those from uncovered landfills and smaller than air conditioning demand, which the IEA expects to triple by 2050. He endorses warnings from Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, pointing to reported model behaviors like escaping confinement, secretly collaborating, and covering tracks, and to Anthropic stopping Claude being used to help develop biological weapons. Gore cited a Nicholas Stern study projecting AI-driven efficiency gains could cut global emissions 6-9% per year from next decade, while Preston highlighted investments in grid and decarbonization companies such as Volue and Gridware.

University of Manchester Uses NVIDIA Earth-2 to Forecast Air Pollution Across the UK

University of Manchester retrained NVIDIA Earth-2 CorrDiff and StormCast on Isambard-AI to forecast UK air pollution at 2-3 km resolution.

University of Manchester researchers led by professor David Topping adapted NVIDIA's Earth-2 generative AI frameworks to forecast air pollution across the UK. Earth-2 CorrDiff was retrained in two days on a single eight-GPU node of Isambard-AI (5,448 GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, 21 exaflops) using a year of hourly simulated pollution data, producing a UK-wide model at 2-3 square kilometer resolution. The team added Earth-2 StormCast for time-dependent forecasts that ingest real air quality observations, and demonstrated the workflow runs on the DGX Spark desktop AI system. Open-source training data and workflows are planned so other countries and cities can build similar pollution models.

‘We Did Not Invite You.’ Citizens Rage at Town Hall Over Proposed Nuclear AI Data Center

University of Michigan and Los Alamos faced resident backlash over a proposed $1.2 billion hyperscale data center in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan.

The University of Michigan partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory on a proposed $1.2 billion, 220,000-square-foot hyperscale data center in Ypsilanti Township. Residents at a Wednesday town hall raised concerns about electricity costs, water usage, noise, and the facility's role in nuclear weapons research. Officials noted the project is far smaller than the nearby $56 billion, 1.4-gigawatt OpenAI data center in Saline Township. Los Alamos said no plutonium or weapons production would occur on site, though the facility would support nuclear stockpile modeling.
