Sociology + Artificial Intelligence: Monk Skin Tone Scale

Description

When a Harvard sociologist and his wife wondered what their baby’s skin tone would be, they realized technology’s need to recognize a wider range. Hence, the Monk Skin Tone Scale was born and then adopted by Google in May 2022. The technology aims to reduce bias in artificial intelligence.

Medicine + Biology: Pig Organs

Description

In a medical first, scientists restored circulation in the vital organs of pigs, such as the heart and brain, one hour after the animals died. The research could help extend the viability of organ transplants.

Astronomy: Asteroid

Description

In what the head of NASA called the “first planetary defense test,” the agency’s DART mission successfully smashed into and changed the path of an innocuous asteroid called Dimorphos. The test suggests the strategy could be replicated in the future if an asteroid were headed toward Earth.
