Artificial intelligence agents in cancer research and oncology - Nature Reviews Cancer
Artificial intelligence agents are autonomous systems that use large language models to reason and as such can perform complex, multistep tasks with minimal human oversight. This Review by Truhn et al. discusses how these agents — which have already been implemented in several industries — could transform cancer research and oncology, and looks at the challenges that need to be addressed before they can be efficiently and safely used.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. They’ll be planting a lot more.
