The fiercest competition between the two AI developers, along

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence have become commonplace. According to some commentators, rapid advances in large language models signal an imminent tipping point—often framed as "superintelligence"—that will fundamentally reshape society. But comparing AI to individual intelligence misses something essential about what human intelligence is. Our intelligence doesn't

Credit: https://openclaw.ai/ If you're following AI on social media, even lightly, you will likely have come across OpenClaw. If not, you will have heard one of its previous names, Clawdbot or Moltbot. Despite its technical limitations, this tool has seen adoption at remarkable speeds, drawn its share of notoriety, and spawned a fascinating "social media for AI" platform called Moltbook, among other unexpected developments. But what on Earth is it? What is

Experts at the University of California San Diego believe the answer is yes—and that such artificial general intelligence has already arrived. This debate is tackled by four faculty members spanning humanities, social sciences, and data science in a recently published Comment invited by Nature. Computer scientist

Developing new materials can involve a dizzying amount of trial and error for different configurations and elements. Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen a surge of popularity in energy materials research for its potential to streamline this time-consuming process. However

The electronic flicker noise is often caused by interruptions in the flow of electrons by various scattering processes in the metals

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and around the world have made striking progress toward that goal, learning how

French astronaut Sophie Adenot, left, with NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway will blast off to the ISS. Four astronauts could blast off to the International Space Station (ISS) next week, after setbacks including a mysterious medical evacuation of the previous crew, last-minute rocket problems, and some scheduling conflicts with NASA's moon mission. The crew was scheduled to launch on February 11, Elon Musk's SpaceX company said this week it w

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.70235 Researchers at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, together with data scientists, have developed a new method to largely automate the extraction of label information from digitized insect specimens. The pipeline, named ELIE, uses artificial intelligence to reliably det

Their findings, published in Computers in Human Behavior, suggest that people tend to judge those who outsource tasks to artificial intelligence more negatively than those who
