🧪 Deepmind Unveils AI That Can Predict Genetic Diseases

DeepMind, a part of Google, has made a new tool called AlphaMissense to speed up research on genetic diseases by looking at DNA changes, especially focusing on something called missense variants. These are tiny changes in DNA that can sometimes cause diseases by messing with how amino acids are made 💡.

Žiga Avsec, who once was studying physics, switched to studying genes 🧬 and later joined Google DeepMind. His journey helped in creating AlphaMissense. This tool works like a language expert, but for protein sequences, spotting if something's off in the amino acid sequences, much like how OpenAI’s ChatGPT understands and processes text.

Claiming a strong 90% accuracy in guessing 🔍 if a missense variant might cause a disease, AlphaMissense is a big leap in studying genes. Its accuracy was checked with the help of Genomics England, matching its guesses with real-world data on known missense variants. And even though it helps in finding harmful mutations faster, it's still important to do real-world research to double-check these guesses.

Overall, the good it can do is big, especially in finding genetic issues in kids faster. By identifying or ruling out harmful mutations early on, it could make sure that the right treatment is given sooner. Moreover, this work shows the cool potential of AI in changing how we study genes, helping in faster diagnoses, and making way for new treatments for genetic diseases. 🚀

🤯 The IRS Leverages AI to Catch Tax Evaders!

The IRS is ramping up its game to catch tax evasion 🕵️, especially among the wealthy, by employing artificial intelligence. This move comes as part of a bigger plan in 2024 to recover large sums owed to the government. The focus is on big fish like large hedge funds, private equity groups, real estate investors, and massive law firms 🏢.

By harnessing AI, the IRS aims to unveil hidden income and dubious financial activities, which have been tough to spot until now.

With a generous fund of $80 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is now more equipped to handle complex and burdensome cases that previously overwhelmed the agency. While some political controversy surrounds this funding, with fears of targeting small businesses and average earners, the core aim remains to have everyone pay their fair share 🎯.

AI is proving to be a game-changer for the IRS, helping to identify patterns and trends in financial dealings, thus boosting the confidence in tackling major audits that seemed impossible before. The plan is to dive into 75 of the nation's largest partnerships initially, all identified with the help of AI, and conduct a thorough examination of their financial records 🔍.

The IRS is growing its team, now boasting nearly 90,000 full-time staff, and is on the hunt for data scientists to develop in-house AI tools further 🛠️. Collaborations with external experts are also in the pipeline to modernise the IRS, making it a formidable force against tax evasion 🚀.

Overall, the adoption of AI, despite some criticism, is a bold step towards bridging the tax gap and ensuring everyone pays what they owe, fair and square ⚖️.
