Mount Sinai wins $4 million NIH grant to improve prediction of postoperative acute kidney injury

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have received a five-year National Institutes of Health grant of approximately $4 million to improve prediction and prevention of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), a potentially serious complication after surgery. Approximately 50 million major noncardiac surgeries are performed annually in the United States, and an estimated 12 percent of them are complicated by postoperative acute kidney injury. Postoperative acute kidney injury can lengthen hospital stays and, as previous Mount Sinai-led research has shown, increase the risk of chronic kidney disease and death. Because there is currently no direct treatment for the condition, predicting risk and preventing kidney injury are especially important. Today, we have limited ability to predict who will develop kidney injury after surgery, and prevention strategies are often…

An AI safety leader says he stopped saving for retirement because he believes AI will kill us all in the next 10 years

Elon Musk said AI could make retirement savings irrelevant by creating an age of abundance. Saving for retirement is a bet on the future. Nate Soares, the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, isn't so sure AI will let us get that far. "I do not save for retirement right now. I have a 401(k) from when I worked at Google, but I haven't contributed for a decade," Soares told The Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson in a recent interview for Thompson's "The Most Interesting Thing in AI" series. Soares' decision reflects a grim view of the AI race. "Godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton and Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger have, respectively, put the odds of AI killing everyone within a decade at 10% and…
