Europe has a chance to shape a safer and more values-aligned future for AI innovation, and needs to. This was my main message at the AI in Science Summit in Copenhagen today. I also presented Scientist AI, LawZero's approach to create technical guardrails and help accelerate scientific discovery.

Two group leader positions available in the broader areas of RNA science, RNA technologies, and RNA medicine. Attractive packages and a great environment. Come and join us at Helmholtz RNA Würzburg, Bavaria.

** Now seeking postdocs ** Join our interdisciplinary and transnational team in Würzburg (Germany) or Paris (France) to drive projects in translational biology and antibiotic drug discovery. Backgrounds in computational biology, AI, physics, or microbiology are all welcome. Please spread the word.

great collaboration with the team of Arnaud Fontanet and Laurent Coudeville, spearheaded by Gaston Bizel-Bizellot, Simon Galmiche and Benoît Lelandais, with help from Tiffany Charmet and enabled by a grant from Sanofi. #llm #nlp #epidemiology #covid-19 @pasteur.fr ‬@uni-wuerzburg.de 3/3

We took advantage of an online survey conducted during the Covid-19 crisis (ComCor), which yielded a data set of millions of words, with ground-truth labels for each individual. We propose that like-minded methods may speed up our understanding of future pandemics and public health responses. 2/n

Finally out, our paper on natural language processing for epidemiology: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We show how large language models can help determine circumstances of pathogen transmission by extracting epidemiologically relevant information from free text. 1/n
