AI Predicts Warming Will Surpass 1.5 C in a Decade - Scientific American

New research from artificial intelligence projects that global warming will hit the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius somewhere between 2033 and 2035.

Researchers Say It'll Be Impossible to Control a Super-Intelligent AI

There are already machines that perform certain important tasks independently without programmers fully understanding how they learned it.

An AI has just independently discovered alternative physics

After being shown videos of physical phenomena on Earth, the AI ​​has not rediscovered the actual variables we are using; Instead, it actually evolved new variables to explain what it saw.

AI is be better at distributing wealth than humans, study finds

A new study finds that artificial intelligence can devise ways to distribute wealth that are more common than systems designed by people.

AI suggested 40,000 new possible chemical weapons in just six hours

It took less than six hours for drug-developing AI to invent 40,000 potentially lethal molecules. 

Reprogrammable Chip Lets AI Learn Continuously

The circuit components can seamlessly switch between acting as resistors, memory capacitors, artificial neurons, and artificial synapses. A silicon brain that can rewire itself just like ours might not be so far away.

Artificial intelligence to reveal climate-change tipping points

Researchers are developing artificial intelligence that could assess climate change tipping points. The deep learning algorithm could act as an early warning system against runaway climate change.

MIT moves towards sustainable artificial intelligence

Current artificial intelligence (AI) technology is powerful, but often relies on high energy consumption. U.S. researchers have devised a solution that reduces the AI model training’s carbon footprint.

AI discovers antibiotic that kills even highly resistant bacteria

MIT scientists have revealed that their AI discovered an antibiotic compound, halicin, that can not only kill many forms of resistant bacteria but do so in a novel way. 

Future of Work

The future of technological employment comes down to a key challenge of human-machine collaboration.

Scientists Create First Ever Living, Programmable Organism

A remarkable combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and biology has produced the world’s first “living robots”. Xenobots are less than 1 millimeter long and are made of 500-1,000 living cells. Using their own cellular energy, they can live up to 10 days.

What Does Ethical AI Look Like?

There’s a strong global convergence towards five ethical principles, including transparency, justice and fairness, non-maleficence, responsibility, and privacy. 

AI can now emulate human behaviors

Giving researchers and companies freedom to explore, in order to seek these positive achievements from AI systems, means opening up the risk of developing more advanced ways to create deception and other social problems.

Careful how you treat today's AI: It might take revenge in the future

If we are going to make machines with human psychological capacities, we should prepare for the possibility that they may become sentient. How then will they react to our behaviour towards them?

IBM says AI debate loss is still a win

IBM's artificial intelligence-powered Project Debater lost a competition to a human debate champion but said the experience was an important milestone in efforts to get computers to master human language.
