Former US Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder says the last six months of Ukraine's war with Russia may have been a critical juncture. He underscores Ukraine's urgent need for additional capabilities, especially manpower and ammunition, which the US has been slow to supply.

"[The Russians] just have more people, they have more guns, and they, importantly, it looks like they have more and better morale, which makes them willing to do things that otherwise people aren't willing to do."

Daalder calls for a serious discussion about the West's role in aiding Ukraine and the potential consequences of inaction. To put it simply, Daalder says there's much more that the US could be doing. "We have military power, we have capabilities; we could send in larger quantities. We have troops."

Unlocking protein structures with AI

Microsoft

Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, in collaboration with Nobel Prize winner David Baker, Seoul National University Professor Minkyung Baek, MIT Professor Bonnie Berger, and University of Pennsylvania Professor Gregory Bowman, have developed Seq2Symm, an AI model that can predict protein structures 80,000 times faster than previous methods. Understanding these structures is key to breakthroughs in medicine, disease research, and synthetic biology. Seq2Symm’s open-source technology will help scientists accelerate drug discovery, better understand diseases like Alzheimer’s, and develop new bioengineered materials. By making protein research faster and more accessible, Microsoft is helping unlock life’s biggest mysteries. Learn more here.

Just a few short months ago, Silicon Valley seemed to have the artificial intelligence industry in a chokehold. Startups OpenAI and Anthropic blazed the trail on large language models while Google, Meta, Microsoft, and other tech incumbents invested billions to keep up.
