A new paper describes a success in making a brand-new enzyme with the potential to digest plastics.
A team of AI researchers, biologists and evolutionary specialists have designed and built an AI model capable of generating the code to synthesize novel proteins.
The computer science behind translating speech from 100 source languages.
Our digital legacies don’t just preserve memories; they can continue to influence the world, long after we’re gone.
Google is the latest tech company to seek nuclear energy to cope with the high demand of electricity propelled by its development of AI.
John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton won for discoveries that paved the way for the AI boom.
Researchers at Sakana.AI, a Tokyo-based company, have worked on developing a large language model (LLM) designed specifically for scientific research.
As A.I.-generated data becomes harder to detect, it’s increasingly likely to be ingested by future A.I., leading to worse results.
Increasing model size does not lead LLMs to gain emergent reasoning abilities, meaning they will not develop hazardous abilities and therefore do not pose an existential threat.
We urgently need to move away from fossil fuels, but electric vehicles and other green technology can put their own pressures on the environment. That pressure could be eased with a new magnet design that was built with AI.
The computer scientist regarded as the “godfather of artificial intelligence” says the government will have to establish a universal basic income to deal with the impact of AI on inequality.
From The Iron Giant to Big Hero 6, many of us will be familiar with tales of kids befriending robots, which suggest generations of young children are more trusting of advice from machines than their own flesh and blood.
Google on Tuesday said it would introduce AI-generated answers to online queries, in one of the biggest changes to its world leading search engine in 25 years.
Artificial intelligence can learn to lie and cheat, and this is a serious risk that requires regulatory and legislative measures to ensure that it remains a useful technology, rather than becoming a threat to human knowledge.
Could AI be the universe's "great filter" – a threshold so hard to overcome that it prevents most life from evolving into space-faring civilizations?
