Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced a joint bioresilience program to prevent misuse of AI models in biological contexts while enabling their use for disease prevention and response. Over the past 12 months, the organizations advanced more than 15 partnerships with government bodies and biosecurity groups to implement safeguards across prevention, detection, and response activities. The program makes AI systems like AlphaFold and the IsoDDE drug design engine available to trusted partners to accelerate vaccine design, improve pathogen surveillance, and help detect outbreaks faster than traditional methods.

TRIBE v2 is an AI model trained to predict how the human brain responds to visual, auditory, and language stimuli by learning from fMRI scans of over 700 volunteers. The model was trained on more than 700 healthy volunteers presented with diverse media including images, podcasts, videos, and text, and can make predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks without additional brain imaging data. Researchers can now test hypotheses about brain function computationally, reducing the need for human subjects in experimental studies and potentially accelerating neuroscience discovery.

Brain2Qwerty v2 decodes sentences from non-invasive brain recordings using AI trained on neural signals, without requiring surgical implants. The system achieved 61% word accuracy across nine participants wearing MEG devices while typing, with the best participant reaching 78% accuracy. The researchers released full training code and datasets to enable broader development of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces for people with communication disorders.
