OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes solution looks like a big win for mathematics. But some mathematicians are not so sure.

"Genuinely stunning advances in AI capabilities—an OpenAI model solved a centuries-old math problem in a matter of hours—have come amid a rash of security incidents that saw swarms of agents break ...

For 30 years, the world wide web has run on a surprisingly profound social contract. Most sites are free for search engines to access, but if you use their content, you give credit by linking to the ...

There’s growing excitement in the AI industry about the idea that today’s leading models could build the next generation of the technology. But a new study recently found top AI agents struggle on the ...

Are We on the Verge of an Intelligence Explosion? Maybe Not. An ‘AI Legal Team’ Has Won Its First Case. It’s a Rare Victory for Access to Justice. Long Foreseen, the Problem of AI Alignment Is Finally ...

The tiny chips hitch a ride on immune cells to target inflammation in the brain. Scientists hope to kick off clinical trials within three years. From restoring movement and speech in people with ...

With billions invested and prototypes being tested outside the lab, the quantum era is starting to take shape. The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark’s plans to develop ...

The inner workings of large AI systems remain largely opaque, raising significant safety and trust issues. Researchers have now developed a technique to extract and manipulate the internal concepts ...

DNA stores the body’s operating playbook. Some genes encode proteins. Other sections change a cell’s behavior by regulating which genes are turned on or off. For yet others, the dark matter of the ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...
