New research uses firefly flashing patterns to identify species and what they’re communicating.

Nearly 20 years after it was launched, machine translation is still a long way from replacing translators.

How can including them change our understanding of AI?

AI will feature in future Nobel prizes as scientists exploit the power of this technology for research.

Two researchers whose work has led to the AI revolution won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics. A materials physicist explains statistical mechanics, the physics field behind their discoveries.

The Nobel Prize shows that the field of artificial neural networks – and the deep learning AI revolution the technology unleashed – owe as much to physics as biology and computer science.

Enthusiasm for the capabilities of artificial intelligence – and claims for the approach of humanlike prowess –has followed a boom-and-bust cycle since the middle of the 20th century.

Technological approaches could help reduce the carbon impact of artificial intelligence systems.

People can trust each other because they understand how the human mind works, can predict people’s behavior, and assume that most people have a moral sense. None of these things are true of AI.
