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. Thanks to AI, we are witnessing a dramatic increase in the pace and scalability of genomic exploration. But given the risks and possible consequences of AI use in science, should we rush headlong into using AI in all kinds of projects? 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. A more holistic question to consider is: Should we prioritize the use of resource-intensive AI, researchers’ time and public funds to resurrect extinct beings? Or should we invest these resources into conserving species that are critically endangered today to prevent biodiversity from more degradation?Smodin Unites Powerful Domains to Deliver an All-in-One AI Platform
A Pabna court yesterday sent three people to jail over gang rape of a student of Pabna University of Science and Technology in Sadar upazila. Police arrested Mehedi Masud, 26, Mahamudul Hasan, 23, and Harunur Rashid, 27, in Pabna town yesterday morning, after the student's mother sued four people, including the three, on Tuesday night, said Sanjoy Kumar Saha, inspector (operation) of Sadar Police Station. Citing the case, Sanjoy said Mehedi developed a relationship with the female student. They broke up recently after he got married to another. However, they remained in touch, he added. On Monday evening, Mehedi called the student and visited different areas riding a bike. Later, he took her to an isolated place in Shalgaria-Baganpara area where he and other accused raped her. Sanjoy said they were trying to nab the other accused. A Pabna court yesterday sent three people to jail over gang rape of a student of Pabna University of Science and Technology in Sadar upazila.

Maple Leafs’ Jake McCabe activated from IR, set to play vs. DucksNo breakthrough innovations have been found in Western military equipment captured during the special military operation and meticulously studied by engineers from Russia's Uralvagonzavod firm, a company representative told Sputnik. Experts from the facility specifically examined a German Leopard 2A6 tank which was, according to foreign media, taken from the Bundeswehr reserves since these machines were not intended for export. This could suggest the presence of sensitive technologies, however there were none. "The disassembly and analysis by our engineers of Western equipment captured during the special military operation revealed nothing special in terms of design," said the Uralvagonzavod representative.
