Plus: AI can “Language-ify” & Talk to Living Cells

Read time: 5 minutes

From AI that sniffs out billions of scam ads before they reach your eyes, to models that can “language-ify” living cells like they’re chatting back — and now, images that can literally trigger your sense of smell… What happened?

💬 Google ‘Cell-to-Sentence’ Model Can ‘Talk’ to Human Cells

google-research-drops-model-that-can-talk-to-cells

What if you could ask a single cell how it’s feeling? What if you hand it a question like “Hey buddy, how would you react if I hit you with this cancer drug?”, and the cell could actually answer?

No, this isn’t sci-fi. This is the future Google is building with something called C2S-Scale model (short for Cell2Sentence-Scale) that lets researchers ask cells specific questions, and receive answers in plain English.

First, the problem here is a single cell spits out thousands of numbers representing which genes are turned on and off. Numbers, numbers, numbers. Now, C2S-Scale could “language-ify” all that data:

→ It turns gene expression data into plain English “cell sentences” — literally arranging gene names in order of activity, like a priority list.

  • Conversational biology: You can ask the model natural language questions about cell behavior and it answers.

  • Data interpretation: It can generate summaries of biological data, suggest cell types, and highlight potential experimental insights.

  • Predictive modeling: Given a cell’s current state and a treatment, the model can predict future gene expression — like a virtual simulation of the cell’s reaction.

  • Scaling laws: Like other LLMs, larger models show clear and predictable performance improvements in both predictions and generation tasks.

You can now “talk” to your biological data. It’s biology made chat-friendly. It’s proof that “language as the interface” is the future.

Why it matters: Do you know what’s the bigger play here? Google and Yale are betting on something much larger: If you can teach machines the language of life, you can teach them to help cure, design, and predict life too. And honestly? I think they’re right.

🚨 9.1 Billions of Bad Google Ads: AI is Cleaning Up the Internet

google-ai-removes-9-billion-bad-ads-2024

Ever wonder how many scammy, shady, or straight-up dangerous ads try to sneak into your Google search results and YouTube videos every year? Spoiler: a lot. But Google’s latest Ads Safety Report says AI is doing some serious heavy lifting in the fight against bad ads.

What’s going on? In 2024, Google used AI to detect and remove over 5.1 billion rule-breaking ads. Yeah, billion. With a “B”.

What kinds of ads are we talking about?

  • Ads that abused Google’s ad system.

  • Ads hijacking trademarked content.

  • Personalization gone wrong (or downright creepy).

And the mission behind it is pretty clear: Less junk. More trust. One of the biggest growing problems was AI deepfakes being used to impersonate celebrities or brands. Google doesn’t rely on one AI model, it uses an army of them to scan and detect.

So Google “restricted” more than 9 billion ads under some sensitive areas. And it’s not just advertisers – publishers, too. Google also took action on 1.3 billion publisher pages. Basically, if it’s the dark side of the web.
