Storm surge is the No. 1 cause of deaths and damage during a hurricane, yet detailed storm surge forecasts are difficult to create. AI could turn that around.
AI agents are poised to do your online shopping for you, with major consequences for the e-commerce industry – and your ability to make choices.
Common chatbots produce generic lesson plans that are unlikely to improve learning, a study finds. It shows how teachers should be critical users – not rapid adopters − of generative AI.
With the help of AI, doctors might be able to detect heart disease before it becomes audible to the human ear.
AI-generated police reports promise to save cops time, but they also raise a host of legal and technical concerns.
Well-known flaws in conventional polling methods may be creating the incorrect perception that many Americans think political violence is justified.
Higher education’s embrace of AI reveals deeper trends in institutional priorities − and what’s at risk.
It can take years to collect evidence that shows effective uses of new technologies in schools. Unfortunately, early guesses sometimes go seriously wrong.
Virtual reality might seem like an unlikely way to help kids develop empathy, but the right VR environment can do just that.
In a polarized environment, the elevation of a figure into a saint does more than honor the individual. It turns a political struggle into a sacred one.
From 1980s sci-fi films to today’s blockbusters, filmmakers have wrestled with questions about what happens when humans rely on intelligent machines.
Analysis of the air quality data available for southwest Memphis finds that pollution has long been quite bad, but the turbines powering an xAI data center have not made it much worse.
AI can help farmers be more effective and sustainable, but its use varies from state to state. A project in Georgia aims to bring the technology to the state’s cotton farmers.
Internet companies have long enjoyed immunity for hosting other people’s content. AI chatbots are changing the legal equation.
Technology has supercharged fraud. The ruses are ancient, but the tools scammers use are cutting edge.
Chatbots can facilitate ‘cognitive offloading,’ or taking shortcuts when learning. But emerging research on AI and cognitive science shows that learning is like a workout.
AI models can deliver localized forecasts faster and cheaper than traditional models. The challenge is getting this technology where it’s needed.
AI’s burgeoning energy appetite is driving efforts to make more efficient computer chips. But chips are only part of the data center equation.
AI systems’ water usage can vary widely, depending on where and when the computer answering the query is running.
