UC Berkeley researchers call for stronger AI regulations following spree of rogue AI incidents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the face of a national debate surrounding AI safety and superintelligence, UC Berkeley researchers are sounding the alarms about the long-term risks of AI advancement. As AI grows more complex, experts worry that new models could eventually reach superintelligence â gaining the ability to outsmart human minds. Experts worry this could lead to disasters on all levels, from an AI agent shutting down electrical grids, to a collapse of the internet and the creation of bioweapons. Stuart Russell
Valley fever infections are more likely near oil drilling, UC Berkeley research finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UC Berkeley researchers just unearthed more of what causes Valley fever, a fungal lung infection, and the answer sits right under oil and gas wells in the Central Valley. Researchers with the Remais Lab at UC Berkeley published a paper Sept. 1 finding that oil and gas development in the San Joaquin Valley correlates with an 11% greater chance of contracting Valley fever, which can be fatal without proper antifungal treatment. The infection, also called coccidioidomycosis, stems from two species
Berkeley police announces $50K reward for leads on unsolved murder from 16 years ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Berkeley Police Department is offering a $50,000 reward for any informational leads on the unsolved murder of Adolfo Ignacio Celedón Bravo. The department announced the increased reward amount Saturday,which marked 16 yearssince two men shot Celedón in the early morning hours of his 35th birthday Sept. 12, 2010. Around 3:41 a.m. that day, Celedón was walking home from his birthday party with his fiancee Amber Nelson when the two were confronted by two men who intended to rob them. The s
UC Berkeley researchers’ AI model makes links between DNA, genetic disease easier to predict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UC Berkeley scientists have made a breakthrough in more efficiently linking genetic variants to unique individual traits such as inheritable disease. The human genome has been mapped in its entirety, but unraveling the DNA to determine its association with human traits is another realm in which UC Berkeley researchers have now broken ground. An AI model called GPN-Star is a new advancement in genomic language models, which researchers train with DNA sequences the same way they would train large
California lawmakers to vote on $125M allocation for public park at former Golden Gate Fields (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The historic Golden Gate Fields horse racing track could become a renovated park in the coming years if California legislators approve $125 million that has been set aside to turn it into a public park. Golden Gate Fields sits on the waterfront between Berkeley and Albany, just north of the Berkeley Marina. The horse racing facility closed after 83 years in 2024. Gov. Gavin Newsom had previously allocated up to $125 million for the purchase of the land in his state budget proposal in June, and
