Progress in AI systems often feels cyclical. Every few years, computers can suddenly do something they’ve never been able to do before. “Behold!” the AI true believers proclaim, “the age of artificial general intelligence is at hand!” “Nonsense!” the skeptics say. “Remember self-driving cars?”
The truth usually lies somewhere in between.

In a first for the genetic toolset known as CRISPR, a recently discovered protein has been found to act as a kind of multipurpose self-destruct system for bacteria, capable of degrading single-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA. With its abilities to target so many types of genetic material, the discovery holds potential for the development of new inexpensive and highly sensitive at-home diagnostic tests for a wide range of infectious diseases, including COVID-19, influenza, Ebola and Zika, according to the authors of a new study in the journal Nature.
Wind turbines keep getting bigger: One design is three times taller than the Statue of Liberty, with blades that are each as long as a football field. The massive size makes wind energy cheaper to produce. But it also makes it harder to design equipment that can stand up to high winds. Instead of making stronger blades, one team of engineers created blades that can easily bend in a hurricane.
Leadership has never been more critical, and technologies will continue to shape how leaders work in the coming years. It is, therefore, up to leaders to embrace these new technologies and use them responsibly if they’re going to stay ahead of the competition.
