As science continues its evolution, discoveries and technologies can act like a master key that open doors leading to novel advancements. Artificial intelligence is one such key, making innovations possible by solving complex problems, automating tasks and enabling research that would have been impossible, or very time-consuming, without it. Mohammad Hosseini But do we want to do research on all topics, and shall we try the AI master key on every door? To explore this question, let’s consider the use of AI by genomics experts as an example. In recent years, genomics experts have added unbelievable depth to what we know about the world and ourselves. For example, genetics researchers have revealed facts about when certain animals and plants were domesticated. In another example, researchers used DNA from 30,000-year-old permafrost to create fertile samples of a plant called narrow-leafed campion. Importantly, genetic engineering has facilitated extraordinary advances in the treatment of complicated conditions, such as sickle-cell anemia.

One relevant example is research on Neanderthals, our closest relatives, who lived about 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals have been studied for several years now through genetic investigation of their fossils and their DNA. Genetic engineering can potentially use ancient DNA and genome editing methods to re-create a Neanderthal or aspects of a Neanderthal’s genetics and physiology. To do this, scientists could start by figuring out the DNA sequence of a Neanderthal by comparing it with the DNA of modern humans, because they are closely related. Then, scientists could use the gene-editing tool known as CRISPR to swap out parts of human DNA with Neanderthal DNA. This process would require a lot of trial and error and might not succeed soon. But based on what we know about genetics, if something is possible, AI can help make it happen faster, cheaper and with less effort. Scientists are excited about these developments because they could facilitate new discoveries and open up many research opportunities in genetic research. With or without AI, research on Neanderthals will proceed. But the extraordinary power of AI could give the final push to these discoveries and facilitate this kind of resurrection. At that point, the scientific community must develop norms and guidelines about how to treat these resurrected beings with dispositions very similar to humans. We would need to carefully consider their rights and well-being almost in the same way as when humans are involved and not as research subjects or artifacts of scientific curiosity. These ethical issues are discussed in more detail in a new paper published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

After just 30 seconds, midfielder Gregore, one of Botafogo's best players, hit the head of Fausto Vera with his foot and was given a straight red card. Brazil was assured of a sixth consecutive Copa Libertadores title and the 24th in history, just one less than Argentina. It was also the third straight title for Rio de Janeiro clubs, after Fluminense in 2023 and Flamengo in 2022. Winger Luiz Henrique scored the first in the 35th minute from close range, and was fouled for the penalty shot converted by Alex Telles in the 44th. Eduardo Vargas headed Mineiro's only goal in the 46th while Junior Santos, the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals, capped Botafogo's historic night with the third in injury time. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Debora Rey And Mauricio Savarese, The Associated PressGreen Thumb Initiative: Holidays and the challenges on mental health
NFL Week 17 takeaways: Should Cowboys keep Mike McCarthy?
What's New CNN legal commentator Elie Honig said Luigi Mangione's murder case in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's death carries the "highest risk" of jury nullification due to the popularity surrounding the man charged in the killing. Why It Matters Mangione has risen to fame as the charged defendant in the high-profile killing. Despite being charged with alleged crimes, Mangione has amassed a large fan base with some even hailing him as a hero for seemingly taking action against the American health insurance industry. What To Know Jury nullification occurs when a jury reaches a verdict of "not guilty" despite believing the defendant is guilty of the charges. This happens when jurors disregard the law, either because they think it is unjust, its application in the specific case is unfair, or they think the punishment would be disproportionate. Jurors cannot be punished for passing an "incorrect" verdict. Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson outside a New York City hotel on December 4. He faces multiple federal charges, including one that could result in the death penalty, as well as six state charges in New York with penalties ranging from one year to life in prison. In Pennsylvania, he also faces charges for possessing a fraudulent ID, a gun, and a silencer. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges. On Tuesday, Honig told CNN host Rahel Solomon that while he "wouldn't necessarily lose sleep" over Mangione's level of fame impacting his chance at a fair jury, he would be "nervous" about the possibility of jury nullification. "And, for sure, this is the highest risk of nullification that I have seen in a long time, given the fame and fandom that this guy has somehow gained over social media. But it's important to keep in mind, there are checks in place, first of all, the jury selection process," Honig said. "People who are overtly biased in his favor, people who have posted on social media, that kind of thing, they will be weeded out. They will never even make it onto a jury. The other thing is, the whole trial process has the effect of sort of forcing people to get serious." Honig continued, "It's really hard to sit through weeks worth of overwhelming evidence that this person shot his victim in the back and then just say, ah, heck with it, I kind of like this guy or I saw some social media meme. So it's always in play, but I think it's important to understand we do have processes that sort of filter that kind of thing out." What People Are Saying Mangione's attorney Attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo to reporters after Mangione arrived in New York, which Agnifilo called "the biggest perp walk I've ever seen": "He is being treated like political fodder. The mayor should know about due process, given his own problems. I think he was there to try to take away from those issues. He wanted to show symbolism. But my client is not a symbol." Mercedes Colwin, a criminal defense attorney, was asked about Donald Trump's death penalty comments surrounding the case by CNN on Tuesday: "Certainly, that's going to be a question raised by the defense, that there were reportings of the president-elect making comments about the death penalty being imposed.... That has to be vetted to that jury. The jury has to make an acknowledgment that, one, they did hear the comments and it doesn't impact their thinking at all and they can still sit and be a fair and impartial juror in that trial.... So comments from the president-elect may impact their thinking. That's something that absolutely has to be vetted." What Happens Next Mangione continues to assert his innocence in the case despite prosecutors saying they have a significant amount of evidence. It is unclear if he will pursue an insanity plea . His next court appearance is scheduled for February 21, 2025. Do you have a story Newsweek should be covering? Do you have any questions about this story?

The Sudanese army said Saturday it had retaken a key state capital south of Khartoum from rival paramilitaries who had held it for the past five months. The Sennar state capital of Sinja is a strategic prize in the 19-month-old war between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces as it lies on a key road linking army-controlled areas of eastern and central Sudan. The army said that Sinja had been "liberated... from the terrorist militia". It posted footage on social media that it said had been filmed inside the main base in the city. "Sinja has returned to the embrace of the nation," the information minister of the army-backed government, Khaled al-Aiser, said in a statement. Aiser's office said armed forces chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had travelled to the city of Sennar, 60 kilometres (40 miles) to the north, on Saturday to "inspect the operation and celebrate the liberation of Sinja". The RSF had taken the two cities in a lightning offensive in June that saw nearly 726,000 civilians flee, according to UN figures. Human rights groups have said that those who were unwilling or unable to leave have faced months of arbitrary violence by RSF fighters. Sinja teacher Abdullah al-Hassan spoke of his "indescribable joy" at seeing the army enter the city after "months of terror". "At any moment, you were waiting for militia fighters to barge in and beat you or loot you," the 53-year-old told AFP by telephone. Both sides in the Sudanese conflict have been accused of war crimes, including indiscriminately shelling homes, markets and hospitals. The RSF has also been accused of summary executions, systematic sexual violence and rampant looting. The paramilitaries control nearly all of the vast western region of Darfur as well as large swathes of Kordofan in the south. They also hold much of the capital Khartoum and the key farming state of Al-Jazira to its south. Since April 2023, the war has killed tens of thousands of people and uprooted more than 11 million -- creating what the UN says is the world's largest displacement crisis. From the eastern state of Gedaref -- where more than 1.1 million displaced people have sought refuge -- Asia Khedr, 46, said she hoped her family's ordeal might soon be at an end. "We'll finally go home and say goodbye to this life of displacement and suffering," she told AFP.

The police report does not state that Hegseth was cleared; rather, it recommended that the case be forwarded to local prosecutors for review, The Associated Press reported. Prosecutors may choose not to pursue a case for an assortment of reasons, including the limited availability of witnesses, whether a jury might deem those witnesses credible and whether alleged victims want to participate in the process. REPORTER: Did you sexually assault a woman in Monterey, California? PETE HEGSETH: I have -- ah -- as far as the media is concerned, it's very simple. The matter was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared, and that's where I'm gonna leave it. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) The incident allegedly occurred at a Republican women’s conference hosted at a hotel in Monterey, California, where Hegseth had been invited to give a speech in October 2017. A woman, whose name has not been made public, sought a sexual assault exam at a medical facility a few days after she said she woke up with a hazy memory of being assaulted by the Fox host. She had reportedly confronted him earlier, in a social setting, because she felt he was behaving inappropriately with other women. The woman texted a friend that Hegseth had a “creeper” vibe about him, the AP noted. She said “things got fuzzy” in the evening. Hegseth allegedly brought her to a room in the hotel, took her phone and blocked her from leaving. She said she had a memory of a shirtless Hegseth bending over her, with his dog tags dangling above her. The nurse who treated her contacted police about the allegation, the AP said. Hegseth, a Trump loyalist, has faced other pushback to his bid to lead the world’s largest military. He never achieved a rank higher than major while serving in the Army and has a dearth of leadership experience. Related...Philadelphia Eagles clinch NFC East by crushing weak Cowboys

The letter dated Dec. 23 was shared publicly today by New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, who has been saying since the fall that Trudeau should step down. Atlantic caucus chair and Nova Scotia MP Kody Blois penned the letter, saying the events following Chrystia Freeland's cabinet resignation, signals from the opposition parties to declare non-confidence at the first opportunity, and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's tariff threats make it no longer "tenable" for Trudeau to continue to lead the party. Conservative MP John Williamson said Friday he plans to introduce a non-confidence motion at the next public accounts committee meeting on Jan. 7. If that motion is successful at committee, it would be forwarded to the House of Commons and could be voted on as soon as Jan. 30, triggering an election if it passes.

Seminar on human rights on Nov 26ARTHEx-01 by ARTHEx Biotech for Myotonic Dystrophy: Likelihood of Approval
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery Sunday to have his prostate removed, hospital officials said, a procedure that came as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption . Netanyahu, who has had a series of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month, he boasted about working 18-hour days, accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel's longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could take a toll on his well-being. Netanyahu, 75, is among older world leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, 82 , President-elect Donald Trump, 78 , Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva , 79, and Pope Francis , 88, who have come under scrutiny for their age and health issues. Netanyahu's latest condition is common in older men, but the procedure has had some fallout. The judges overseeing his trial accepted a request from his lawyer on Sunday to call off three days of testimony scheduled this week. The lawyer, Amit Hadad, had argued that Netanyahu would be fully sedated for the procedure and hospitalized for “a number of days.” Dr. Ofer Gofrit, head of the urology department at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center, said in a video statement late Sunday that the procedure had gone well and “there was no fear” of cancer or malignancy. “We only hope for the best,” he said. In a statement, Netanyahu thanked his doctors. His office said he was "fully alert" and was taken to an underground recovery unit fortified against potential missile attacks. Netanyahu was expected to remain in the hospital for several days of observation. Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, served as acting prime minister during the operation. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. As Israel’s leader, Netanyahu is at the center of major global events that are shifting the Middle East . With the dizzying pace of the past 14 months, being incapacitated for even a few hours can be risky. Netanyahu will be in the hospital at a time when international mediators are pushing Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and as fighting between Israel and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensifies . Prostate issues are common and in many cases easily treatable. Still, the procedure puts a dent in Netanyahu’s image of vigor at a time when he would want to project strength more than ever, both to an Israeli audience navigating constant threats as well as to Israel’s enemies looking to expose its weaknesses. Netanyahu insists he is in excellent health. His office releases footage of him touring war zones in full protective gear flanked by military officers, or meeting with defense officials on windswept hilltops in youthful dark shades and puffer jackets. But that image was shattered last year when Netanyahu’s doctors revealed that he had a heart condition , a problem that he had apparently long known about but concealed from the public. A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal that Netanyahu has for years experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats. The revelation came as Netanyahu was dealing with massive anti-government protests. The news about a chronic heart problem stoked further anger and distrust during extreme political polarization in Israel. Last year, Netanyahu was rushed to the hospital for what doctors said likely was dehydration . He stayed overnight, prompting his weekly Cabinet meeting to be delayed. Earlier this year, Netanyahu underwent hernia surgery , during which he was under full anesthesia and unconscious. Levin served as acting prime minister during the operation. According to Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli leader was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection on Wednesday stemming from a benign enlargement of his prostate. The infection was treated successfully with antibiotics, but doctors said the surgery was needed in any case. Complications from prostate enlargement are common in men in their 70s and 80s, Dr. Shay Golan, head of the oncology urology service at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center, told Israeli Army Radio. Golan spoke in general terms and was not involved in Netanyahu’s care or treatment. He said an enlarged prostate can block proper emptying of the bladder, leading to a build-up of urine that can lead to an infection or other complications. After medicinal treatment, doctors can recommend a procedure to remove the prostate to prevent future blockages, Golan said. In Netanyahu’s case, because the prostate is not cancerous, Golan said doctors were likely performing an endoscopic surgery, carried out by inserting small instruments into a body cavity, rather than making surgical cuts in the abdomen to reach the prostate. The procedure lasts about an hour, Golan said, and recovery is quick. He said that aside from catheter use for one to three days after the procedure, patients can return to normal activity without significant limitations.
