However, growth is slowing, and demand “wasn’t quite feverish enough” to allay concerns of an AI-driven market cooldown ([www.lakelandtoday.ca](https://www.lakelandtoday.ca/science-news/nvidias-ai-chip-sales-surged-again-in-latest-quarter-but-worries-about-a-tech-bubble-persist-11130524#:~:text=SAN%20FRANCISCO%20,AI%20craze%20may%20be%20fading)).

MIT researchers develop AI tool to improve flu vaccine strain selection
By Rachel Gordon, MIT CSAIL — August 28, 2025
“VaxSeer” is a new AI tool that uses machine learning to predict how influenza viruses will evolve and interact with the immune system ([news.mit.edu](https://news.mit.edu/2025/vaxseer-ai-tool-to-improve-flu-vaccine-strain-selection-0828#:~:text=VaxSeer%20uses%20machine%20learning%20to,and%20less%20reliant%20on%20guesswork)). By modeling virus evolution and antigenicity, it helps public health experts choose more effective flu strains for seasonal vaccines, reducing guesswork in vaccine design ([news.mit.edu](https://news.mit.edu/2025/vaxseer-ai-tool-to-improve-flu-vaccine-strain-selection-0828#:~:text=VaxSeer%20uses%20machine%20learning%20to,and%20less%20reliant%20on%20guesswork)).

This inconsistency came to light amid a lawsuit after a teenage boy’s family alleged ChatGPT gave him poor guidance before his suicide. The findings suggest that current chatbot safeguards may need improvement to better help users in crisis ([news.wttw.com](https://news.wttw.com/2025/08/26/study-says-ai-chatbots-need-fix-suicide-response-family-sues-over-chatgpt-role-boy-s#:~:text=SAN%20FRANCISCO%20,their%20replies%20to%20less%20extreme)).
