Proteins are vital parts of all living organisms and perform essential tasks in our bodies. They build and repair tissues, supply components of the immune and hormone systems, regulate metabolism, and transmit signals. Researchers have now developed an intelligent neural network that can predict the functions of proteins in the human body. The team used a 'trick' to observe how the network makes it predictions. The insights gained from this research could help in the search for new targeted drugs. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190515110325.htm

Interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) will become an increasingly common aspect of our lives. A team has now completed the first study of how 'embodied AI' can help treat mental illness. Their conclusion: Important ethical questions of this technology remain unanswered. There is urgent need for action on the part of governments, professional associations and researchers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190515110323.htm
