Here’s everything you need to know this week in AI:

  • AI Tool Uses Facial Photos to Predict Cancer Survival

  • OpenAI Launches HealthBench to Set AI Standards in Healthcare

  • OpenAI and Microsoft Seek to Rewrite Billion-Dollar Partnership

  • New Pope Warns AI Threatens Human Dignity and Labor

Mass General Brigham has introduced FaceAge, an AI that estimates biological age from facial photos and helps predict cancer survival. Patients who appeared older than their actual age had worse outcomes, with FaceAge providing insights beyond traditional clinical data.

Doctors improved their 6-month survival predictions by using FaceAge scores, which also aligned with genes linked to aging. The tool may offer a new way to personalize treatment by turning facial features into actionable health data.

OpenAI has introduced HealthBench, a physician-validated benchmark designed to assess AI performance in medical conversations. Built with input from 262 doctors, it evaluates models on accuracy, communication, and clinical decision-making across real-world health scenarios.

Newer models, like OpenAI’s o3, outperformed earlier versions, with some smaller models also showing strong results at a fraction of the cost. By open-sourcing the dataset and evaluations, OpenAI aims to guide safer, more effective AI deployment in healthcare.

OpenAI and Microsoft are in talks to restructure their partnership, with OpenAI pushing to cut Microsoft’s revenue share from 20% to 10% by 2030, when it projects $174B in revenue. Meanwhile, Microsoft wants continued access to OpenAI’s tech beyond their current deal.

Tensions have grown as OpenAI courts rivals for its Stargate project and competes in enterprise markets. Microsoft’s resistance to OpenAI’s public benefit corporation plans adds to the friction, but both sides appear eager to strike a new deal.

In his first major address, Pope Leo XIV named artificial intelligence as one of humanity’s top challenges, warning it could undermine human dignity, justice, and labor. He urged the Church to take a leading role in addressing AI's social and ethical impacts, likening it to the Industrial Revolution.

Following Pope Francis' earlier calls for global AI regulation, the Vatican’s ongoing focus signals that AI has become a central issue in global moral discourse. With over a billion Catholics worldwide, the Pope’s stance may influence future policy debates.

The S&P 500 closed in the green for the first time since February, rising 0.7% on strong tech gains and easing inflation data. A better-than-expected CPI report showed annual inflation slowing to 2.3%, fueling optimism despite lingering uncertainty around President Trump’s trade policies.

Tech stocks led the charge—Palantir jumped 8.1%, Super Micro surged 16%, and Nvidia added 5.6%. Meanwhile, the Dow slipped 0.6% after UnitedHealth shares plunged on leadership news. With tariff tensions easing and investor sentiment shifting toward growth, markets are cautiously optimistic—but not without hesitation.
