The article highlights several scientific advancements, beginning with capuchin monkeys exhibiting unusual behavior by kidnapping infant howler monkeys, raising concerns and curiosity among researchers. In a remarkable breakthrough, a teenager received the first treatment using the gene-editing technique known as prime editing for a rare immune disorder, showing no serious side effects. Additionally, a study showed that AI chatbots like OpenAI’s GPT-4 can outperform humans in online debates when provided with personal demographic data, emphasizing the growing capabilities of AI.
"We've not seen anything like this in the animal kingdom," says behavioral ecologist Zoë Goldsborough regarding capuchin monkeys kidnapping infant howler monkeys.
When neither the human nor AI had access to their opponent's background information, GPT-4 was about as persuasive as a human. But with demographic data, GPT-4 out-argued humans 64% of the time.
A teenager with a rare immune disorder has become the first person to receive treatment with prime editing, showing no serious side effects post-therapy.
