A study compared tested an array of AI models and 100,000 people. AI was better than average but trailed top performers.

“As the hype dies down, Moltbook looks less like a window onto the future and more like a mirror held up to our own obsessions with AI today. It also shows us just how far we still are from anything ...

Have you ever had the experience of rereading a sentence multiple times only to realize you still don’t understand it? As taught to scores of incoming college freshmen, when you realize you’re ...

Robotaxis have long promised cheaper trips and shorter wait times, but so far, providers have struggled to match traditional platforms. New pricing and timing data from San Francisco shows that ...

When we write something to another person, over email or perhaps on social media, we may not state things directly, but our words may instead convey a latent meaning—an underlying subtext. We also ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

"As the world’s largest companies pour hundreds of billions of dollars into large language models, San Francisco-based Logical Intelligence is trying something different in pursuit of AI that can ...

Elephant trunks and garden hoses hardly seem like inspirations for a miniature 3D bioprinter. Yet they’ve led scientists at McGill University to engineer the smallest reported bioprinting head to date ...

Vast swathes of the human genome remain a mystery to science. A new AI from Google DeepMind is helping researchers understand how these stretches of DNA impact the activity of other genes. While the ...

Recent progress in AI largely boils down to one thing: Scale. Around the beginning of this decade, AI labs noticed that making their algorithms—or models—ever bigger and feeding them more data ...

It’s easy to take safe drinking water for granted. In most developed countries, access to safe water takes a simple flip of a kitchen tap or a run to the grocery store. But over two billion people ...

This year gave rise to an incredible mix of brain implants that can record, decode, and alter brain activity. It sounds like déjà vu—brain-machine interfaces also lived rent free in my head in last ...
