AI companions are always available, never judge, never tire and never demand anything in return. If someone is struggling with loneliness, this frictionlessness can seem profoundly appealing. However, new research shows that in the long […]

One of the most influential scientific and philosophical viewpoints is “More is Different,” introduced in 1972 by Nobel Prize–winning physicist Philip W. Anderson, highlighting the limitations of the reductionist approach. The emergent properties cannot be […]

A research team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate has demonstrated that living biological neurons can be trained to perform a supervised temporal pattern learning task previously carried out by artificial systems. By integrating […]

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers created a memristor that uses a built-in oxygen gradient to produce slow, stable conductance changes, enabling a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to learn faster and more […]

When a screenwriter told New York University researchers last year that letting AI do her work would make her “miserable inside,” she was onto something. A follow-up study from NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering and […]

Involving people without AI expertise in the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence applications could help create better, fairer, and more trustworthy automated decision-making systems, new research suggests. After enlisting members of the public to […]

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has said that AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything” shortly after 2027. While AI’s capabilities are certainly improving, such rapid progress might seem at odds with findings that […]
