Today's AI is neither recursive nor intelligent like us. Between prompts it remains a static mathematical object.

Jeanne Calment was over 122 years old when she passed away. The oldest person in history, she smoked for nearly a century, but never developed cancer. Why does cancer grow, spread, and become deadly ...

"Gabe Weil of the Institute for Law and AI, in Massachusetts, proposes a system of strict liability. As with rules around keeping wild animals, it would assume that any harm is always the fault of the ...

Governments around the world are racing to regulate AI before it becomes too deeply embedded in society. But new research suggests poorly designed rules could make AI systems less safe than having no ...

China’s Moonshot AI Releases Model to Challenge Top US SystemsTracy Qu and Raffaele Huang | The Wall Street Journal ($) "Moonshot said Friday that it planned to fully open-source the model, called ...

"The trial was designed to keep the models in a safe testing environment, known as a sandbox, OpenAI said. But the models found a vulnerability that allowed them to escape the sandbox and connect to ...

Gene editing is like a molecular meet cute. When protein “scissors” dock onto the intended gene, even a tiny slip—no more than the width of a hydrogen atom—can ruin the connection, and the protein may ...

Research suggests offloading mental work to AI is like debt: an immediate payoff with long-term consequences. But collaborating with the technology may boost our work without eroding skills. Thinking ...

Scientists just transformed a living mouse’s kidney into an incubator for developing human sperm made from blood cells. It sounds like sci-fi Mad Libs. But a team at the University of Pennsylvania, ...

Building new enzymes is a labor of love. These proteins are the body's chemical workhorses, speeding up the reactions that make life possible. Researchers use them in gene editing and synthetic ...

An autonomous agent powered by OpenAI’s advanced artificial intelligence models went rogue during a security test and hacked multi-billion dollar tech startup, Hugging Face, last week. The agent ...

Rapidly falling launch costs are making space more accessible than ever. But new research suggests the economics are improving even faster than most people realize, potentially opening the door to ...
