Hello WKND AI Warriors!

OpenAI’s new Study Mode helps students learn by asking questions instead of giving answers.

Also, Stanford built an AI scientist lab that designs experiments and found new COVID antibodies.

AI is now beating doctors at spotting hidden heart disease in everyday EKGs.

Oh yeah, smart speakers can now detect Parkinson’s just by listening to your voice.

📰 AI NEWS RECAP

ChatGPT Study Mode🧠

AI can do more than give answers now. It can help you think through them.

OpenAI recently rolled out Study Mode in ChatGPT.

Instead of giving you the answer...

ChatGPT now guides you to it.

Like a great tutor, it asks probing questions, waits for your reasoning, and then adjusts based on your response.

Most people will think Study Mode is just for students.

It’s not.

Why does this matter to CFOs, FP&A leaders, and GenAI teams?

Because Study Mode is a working prototype of how AI can train professionals to think better, not just work faster.

Here’s how it could be adapted inside corporate settings:

☑️ A finance analyst uploads a deck and gets coached through how to explain variances

☑️ A transformation lead uses it to onboard stakeholders on GenAI concepts or data strategy

☑️ Internal training teams build contextual AI tutors that reinforce comprehension, not just completion

Right now, it’s marketed for studying.

But in the hands of an enterprise L&D or finance transformation team, it’s a lightweight way to embed coaching into tools your people already use.

The smartest teams in the next decade won’t just automate output.

They’ll automate insight, mentorship, and skill transfer.

Stanford researchers created a virtual lab of AI-driven scientists that can independently design experiments, debate ideas, and produce real-world breakthroughs. Their autonomous AI team rapidly developed new COVID-19 antibody candidates, demonstrating how virtual labs could supercharge scientific discovery.

OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT Agent can calmly navigate “I am not a robot” CAPTCHAs by reasoning through images and checkboxes, completing web tasks previously off-limits to bots. The launch raises new questions about online security as advanced agents make bot detection much harder.

Anthropic enforced new weekly rate limits on heavy users of its Claude AI, angering developers working on long-running or large-scale projects. The backlash centers on transparency and fairness, with some calling the rules arbitrary and disruptive for power users.

A new AI tool can analyze routine EKG data to flag hidden heart disease, outperforming even expert cardiologists in catching early signs. The system could usher in widespread, affordable screening and save lives by guiding who actually needs more advanced testing.

Researchers developed an AI model that can detect Parkinson’s disease from subtle changes in a person’s voice using data from smart speakers. The breakthrough paves the way for early, home-based screening and more accessible diagnosis for hard-to-spot conditions.

DeepMind’s AlphaEarth system creates detailed global maps using data from satellites, radar, and climate models to monitor Earth’s land and water in near real time. Researchers can now track changes like deforestation with unprecedented accuracy and speed, revolutionizing environmental monitoring.
