In a world where we ask artificial intelligence to summarize articles and create images, scientists have now tasked an AI with a much bigger challenge: finding a new way to fight cancer. And it just delivered a promising lead.

Google, on October 15, announced a major scientific milestone: an AI model from its Gemma family has helped uncover a potential new way to treat cancer.

In collaboration with Yale University, researchers at Google DeepMind and Google Research developed Cell2Sentence-Scale 27B (C2S-Scale), a massive 27 billion parameter AI model designed to understand the “language” of individual cells.

It doesn’t get more “nice news” than this: In a historic medical first, a pioneering gene therapy successfully slowed the progression of Huntington’s disease by 75% in a clinical trial. The breakthrough offers new hope for the tens of thousands living with the devastating hereditary condition, which progressively destroys brain cells and impairs movement, cognition, and behavior — and until now, there was no treatment capable of slowing or halting its advance.
