AI promises to accelerate scientific discovery, but if scientists aren’t careful public trust may be left behind.

A study of more than 1,000 IVF patients showed a deep learning software system was almost as good as human experts at choosing viable embryos.

Generative AI needs tons of data to learn. It also generates new data. So, what happens when AI starts training on AI-made content?

By combining traditional weather modelling with machine learning, a new model promises to make high-quality forecasts much cheaper to produce.

AI is finding applications across sport, from talent spotting and training to gymnastics judging and injury rehab.

Police efforts to sort through online child sexual exploitation material are being hampered by the rise in AI-generated imagery. Here’s how they’re working to combat the problem.

Human staff accumulate data as ‘expertise’ instead of giving it to their employers. For profit-chasing retailers, that’s a problem AI can eliminate.

‘Uncanny’ AI music generators blur the line between creators and consumers. Will they turn music from high art to an everyday language? Listen to these AI-generated tracks and judge for yourself.

A new AI system may improve soccer tactics in 90% of corner kicks – but is it ready for the big leagues?

Existing AI systems learn patterns from very large piles of data – but they have no insight.

AI systems will accelerate the pace of war.

It’s the fourth most popular website in the world, but our new study shows toxic commentary can still thrive on Wikipedia. There’s a lot at stake if too many editors are driven away.

A tangle of silver nanowires may pave the way to low-energy real-time machine learning.

The Turing test, first proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing, was framed as a test that could supposedly tell us whether an AI system could ‘think’ like a human.

The science of human consciousness offers new ways of gauging machine minds – and suggests there’s no obvious reason computers can’t develop awareness.
