AI Is Helping Robot Labs Design New Medicines and Materials Faster Than Ever
Automated biofoundries, labs where robots do the bench work, are getting an AI upgrade. Here is what that means for drug discovery and everyday health.
This Robot Watched a Short Video and Figured Out the Rest Itself
Cambridge startup Generalist AI has built robot arms that learn new physical tasks from a single video clip, no task-specific training required. The results are imperfect but striking.
More Memory Does Not Always Mean a Smarter AI Agent
A study across eight AI models found that feeding an agent more of its own past experience can hurt as much as help. The right amount of memory depends entirely on how capable the model already is.
Brain scanning just got smarter: what a new AI technique means for neuroscience
Researchers have built a method that finds hidden patterns in brain signals across multiple people at once, even when each person's brain data looks slightly different.
AI Models May Not Need to Forget Everything: The Case for Smarter Unlearning
New research from Apple ML Research suggests some training data has so little effect on an AI model that running a costly removal process on it is simply wasted effort.
The Dirty Data Problem That Is Stalling the Next Wave of AI Robots
A new survey of more than 700 AI engineers finds that bad data, not weak algorithms, is the main reason physical AI systems fail before they reach the real world.
Warehouse Robots Are Getting Smarter. Here Is What Is Driving the Boom.
Two new market forecasts show the autonomous mobile robot industry doubling or tripling by 2030, pushed by labour costs and better AI-powered navigation.
The Power Grid Is Struggling. A New AI Course Wants to Train the Engineers Who Can Fix It
America's electrical grid was built for steadier times. Now AI tools are being drafted to keep the lights on, and a new online programme is teaching engineers how to use them.
Your AI Data Map Has a Hidden Layer. Researchers Want to Use It.
A study from Apple ML Research shows that a structure AI tools quietly build while organising data can reveal far more than the scatter plots researchers usually look at.
What is the difference between machine learning and deep learning? A plain-English guide
One is the broad field, the other is a powerful technique inside it. Here is exactly how they relate.
How do AI image generators actually work? A plain-English guide
From typed words to finished artwork in seconds: here is what is actually happening inside the machine.
What is AGI, and how close are we to it?
AGI means a machine that can learn and do almost any intellectual task a human can. Nobody has built one yet, but the debate about how close we are is very much alive.
On-Device Age Checks: A Safer Way to Screen
New laws require age verification online, but keeping image processing on your own device could stop your face from ending up somewhere it shouldn't.
AI Could Mistake Dead Rocks for Alien Life, New Research Warns
Scientists tested an AI on simulated lifeforms and fooled it every single time. That's a problem if we plan to use AI to hunt for microbes on Mars or in the clouds of Venus.
Babies Learn Faster Than the World's Most Powerful AI. Scientists Want to Know Why.
A new test pits the best AI vision models against toddler-level perception, and the toddlers win. Researchers say studying infant brains could make AI cheaper, greener, and smarter.
