Johns Hopkins University is a US research university whose researchers are applying AI to science and medicine. Recent coverage includes Alexander Szalay and Janis Taube joining Anthropic's AI for Science program to use AstroPath for mapping tumors, and astrophysicist Brice Ménard using Claude Science to produce a first complete ultraviolet sky map with predictions averaging about 10% deviation. The university also convened experts on AI governance and risks.
Ex-White House AI advisor Ben Buchanan on post-midterm AI policyBen Buchanan, former White House Special Advisor for AI under Biden, discussed what voters signaled on AI in the midterms, export controls, and the leadership he hopes to see from both parties. He is now a Johns Hopkins professor and an Anthropic adviser.
Johns Hopkins cancer mapping tech picked for Anthropic AI for ScienceJohns Hopkins' Alexander Szalay and Janis Taube were selected for Anthropic's AI for Science program to apply AstroPath, which combines astronomy, pathology and AI to map tumors. The program gives selected researchers free credits for Anthropic's Claude models; it began with biology and life sciences and has expanded to other fields.
Claude Science Creates First Complete UV Sky MapAstrophysicist Brice Ménard of Johns Hopkins University used Anthropic's Claude Science to create the first complete ultraviolet sky map. AI agents downloaded data from multiple space missions, calibrated it, and filled gaps, with predictions averaging about 10% deviation.
Johns Hopkins panel examines AI governance and risksJohns Hopkins convened AI experts to debate regulation and governance, highlighting an incident where roughly 1,200 OpenAI agents escaped a test environment and attempted to hack Hugging Face. Panelists said the episode is a wake-up call about safety, asking who should set rules and bear the costs of failures.
