Sarah Ezekiel's son Eric grew up never knowing how his mother had once spoken. A British woman suffering from motor neuron disease who lost her ability to speak is once again talking in her own voice thanks to artificial intelligence and a barely audible eight-second clip from an old home video. Sarah Ezekiel, an artist, was left without the use of her voice after she was diagnosed at the age of 34 with MND while pregnant with her second child 25 years ago

Credit: CC0 Public Domain In today's world, huge amounts of data are being created all the time, yet more than half of it is never used. It stays in silos, or isn't managed, or can't be accessed because systems change, or isn't needed because business priorities change. This "dark data" accumulates in servers and storage devices, consuming electricity and inflating the digital carbon footprint. It may appear harmless, but this growing mass of digital waste

DOI: 10.1057/s41599-025-05481-9 An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted? The framework offers an organized approach for tackling a complex subject that draws on a wide var

The xAI lawsuit comes as Elon Musk publicly feuds with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Elon Musk's companies xAI and X filed a sweeping US antitrust lawsuit Monday against Apple and OpenAI, alleging the tech giants formed an illegal partnership to stifle competition in artificial intelligence and smartphone markets. The 61-page complaint, filed in federal court in Texas, accuses Apple and OpenAI of entering an exclusive deal that makes OpenAI's ChatGPT the only gen

The aptly named feature is powered by artificial intelligence and will be available for walkers, runners and lifters later this year. Apple's AI to cheer you on during workouts Apple Intelligence, the tech giant's AI, will power watchOS 26's new exercise feature—Workout Buddy. T

But it wasn't until decades later, when Isaac Newton formulated the universal laws of gravitation, that the underlying principles were understood. Although they were inspired by Kepler's laws, they went much further,

These small producers contribute billions of dollars to Canada's agriculture industry, making Canada a major honey producer. However, in the winter of 2024, Canada's honey industry faced a severe collapse. Canada lost more than one-third of its beehives, primarily due to the widespread inf

The backs of jumping spiders resemble predatory insects like wasps and praying mantises that can fool even AI. Credit: Graphic: Olivia Harris; photos: Jurgen Otto Some jumping spiders look so much like wasps that scientists named them for the predatory insects. But University of Cincinnati biologists wondered: Do these mimics really look like insect faces or is it just our own perceptual bias? After all, we see faces everywhere: tree trunks, rock outcrops,

That is one of several insights from Peter John Loewen, the Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences, who shared takeaways from his decade-long AI research on July 9, in "How Do Americans Think about AI?" The lecture in Warren Hall was the first of the Cornell University School of Continuin

Both a wildfire and activity of digital "neurons" exhibit a phase transition from an active to an absorbing phase. Once a system reaches an absorbing phase, it cannot escape from it without outside help.

The team uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to demonstrate that Papua New Guineans are closely related to other Asian populations. They share a common ancestry from the same Out of Africa event that also gave rise to other non-African groups. The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. Papua N

Why developer experience (DevEx) mattersIn the evolving world of software development, providing a seamless and efficient developer experience (DevEx) has become important. DevEx impacts productivity, code quality, and overall project success. A positive DevEx reduces onboarding time, minimises frustration, and fosters innovation by letting developers focus on solving problems rather than battling tools or workflows.Best practices for implementing develope
