Selfies Spot Cancer Risk
A new AI tool called FaceAge can look at your selfie and guess your "biological age"—and that might help doctors better predict how you'll respond to cancer treatment.
Key Takeaways:
FaceAge uses selfies to estimate how old your body really feels, not just how old you are.
It was trained on nearly 60,000 healthy faces and tested on 6,000 cancer patients.
People who looked older than their real age had lower chances of survival.
Used with doctors’ opinions, FaceAge improved treatment predictions from 61% to 80%.
It can track your health over time, making it useful for regular check-ins.
Why It’s Important:
This selfie-scanning AI could help doctors make smarter, more personalized decisions about cancer treatment—without poking, prodding, or expensive tests. It’s a big step toward using tech for better, faster, and more accurate healthcare.

Quark’s Deep Search Drops
Alibaba just added a powerful new "deep search" feature to its AI app Quark, making it smarter at answering tricky questions by using advanced AI instead of simple keyword matching.
Key Takeaways:
Quark now uses “deep search,” powered by Alibaba’s Qwen AI, to understand and answer complex questions.
Unlike old-school search engines, it uses reasoning plus real-time web info for better results.
Alibaba aims to make Quark an all-around AI assistant for everyday users.
Since March, Quark has outpaced major Chinese rivals like ByteDance’s Doubao.
Chinese users are showing a growing demand for smarter search tools powered by AI.
Why It’s Important:
This shows how AI is changing the way we search online—moving from typing keywords to having real conversations. If successful, Quark could reshape how millions of people find information in the future.

Missile or Robot? Both.
The U.S. revealed a new AI-powered drone called Red Dragon that can choose its own targets and act like a flying missile—raising serious questions about the future of warfare.
Key Takeaways:
Red Dragon is a 20kg AI drone that launches in 10 minutes, flies 400km, and carries up to 10kg of explosives.
Unlike traditional drones, it's designed to crash into targets like a missile.
It uses AI to spot and select targets on its own via SPOTR-Edge and AVACORE systems.
The DoD says humans will stay in control, but concerns about autonomous killing machines remain.
The drone's development is part of the U.S. effort to stay ahead in military tech and air dominance.
Why It’s Important:
Giving a machine the power to pick who lives or dies is a big deal. Red Dragon marks a major shift in how wars might be fought—and sparks tough questions about ethics, accountability, and control in AI warfare.
