A new kind of transistor allows AI hardware to remember and process information more like the human brain does

Most machine-learning models rely on mountains of data to replicate human text, but new research suggests the recipe for learning language might be simpler

The word “open” is often thrown around in describing AI transparency, but the companies and groups calling for it must themselves be open about their practices

A Brookings Institution report warns that energy-hungry artificial intelligence tech will worsen the climate crisis

A speculative survey about AI’s future may have been biased toward an alarmist perspective

A new study used machine learning to “autocomplete” the life trajectories of six million Danish people—and forecast when they might kick the bucket.

Amid the machine-learning boom, model developers have built an all-purpose digital oracle from a trove of big data

Until now computers have failed to solve mathematical problems. But the AI program AlphaGeometry has succeeded in finding proofs for dozens of theorems from the International Mathematical Olympiad
