Some brain tumors are invasive, with tentacle-like borders that can resemble healthy brain tissue but infiltrate it, making it very difficult for doctors to be certain that they’ve removed all of the cancer when a patient undergoes surgery.
That's why Dr. Todd Hollon, a neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan Health and an assistant professor of neurosurgery, and his team at the U-M Machine Learning in Neurosurgery lab, have developed an artificial intelligence tool called FastGlioma, which can quickly identify residual tumor tissue during surgery, allowing doctors to more precisely remove it — and improve outcomes for patients.

Encode, the nonprofit org that co-sponsored California’s ill-fated SB 1047 AI safety legislation, has requested permission to file an amicus brief in support of Elon Musk’s injunction to halt OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit.
In a proposed brief submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California Friday afternoon, counsel for Encode said that OpenAI’s conversion to a for-profit would “undermine” the firm’s mission to “develop and deploy … transformative technology in a way that is safe and beneficial to the public.”
