AI-powered cancer vaccines soon?

AI-Powered Personalized Cancer Vaccines on the Horizon

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize healthcare, particularly in the development of personalized cancer vaccines, as highlighted during the recent launch of the Stargate Project at the White House.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • Early Detection: AI can identify small fragments of tumors in the bloodstream through simple blood tests, enabling early detection of cancer.

  • Gene Sequencing: Following detection, AI assists in gene sequencing of the tumor to understand its unique characteristics.

  • Personalized Vaccine Development: Based on the sequencing data, AI designs customized mRNA vaccines tailored to target the specific cancer, with production achievable within 48 hours using robotic systems.

  • Why It Matters: This approach signifies a transformative application of AI in healthcare, offering rapid and personalized treatment options for cancer patients, potentially improving outcomes and reducing treatment times.

Do you think AI-powered healthcare will become mainstream in the next decade?

LinkedIn Faces Lawsuit Over Privacy

LinkedIn Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Use of Private Messages for AI Training

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional social networking platform, is facing a US lawsuit accusing it of sharing private messages of Premium users with third parties to train AI models. The lawsuit claims LinkedIn implemented this without user consent, sparking concerns over privacy violations.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • Privacy Concerns: The lawsuit alleges that LinkedIn "quietly" introduced a privacy setting in August 2024 that automatically opted users into data sharing for AI training purposes. A month later, the company updated its privacy policy to formalize the use of user data for AI development.

  • Claims of Concealment: The filing accuses LinkedIn of attempting to "cover its tracks" by revising its FAQ section, acknowledging that users could opt out of data sharing but stating this would not reverse training that had already occurred.

  • Legal Action: Filed in a California federal court, the lawsuit seeks $1,000 per affected user under the Stored Communications Act, along with additional damages for breach of contract and violations of California’s unfair competition law.

LinkedIn’s Response:

A spokesperson for LinkedIn denied the allegations, stating the claims are “false and without merit.” Additionally, the company clarified that data sharing for AI purposes has not been enabled in the UK, European Economic Area, or Switzerland.
