Acute malnutrition weakens a child’s immune system, which can lead to severe illness and an increased risk of death.
The surprising ways in which machine learning is decoding the animal mind.
Advances in imaging, text recognition and machine learning are transforming what can be done with collections of plants and fungi in herbaria and museums globally.
Data poisoning corrupts AI systems by teaching them with bad data. There’s no silver bullet to protect against it, but researchers are building defenses.
The Aeneas system promises ‘useful research starting points’ – and it seems to deliver.
It might seem like an obvious move to deploy drones to help look for flood victims, but floods pose unique challenges that stymie the technology.
New research suggests global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of wind gusts from thunderstorm downbursts, with serious consequences for air travel.
Robots in challenging places like disaster zones need energy-efficient systems to find their way.
Pioneering computer scientist Yoshua Bengio says his new AI model will make the world safer. But will it work?
AI that anticipates where crimes are likely to occur and who might commit them has a troubling track record. Democratic accountability could shine a light on the technology and how it’s used.
Battery management systems now blend physics and machine learning, delivering real‑time insights to boost safety, efficiency and lifespan even under heavy use.
The US military is already using AI to control aircraft in tests.
Once errors creep into the AI knowledge base, they can be very hard to get out.
AI can process data from wearable devices to better monitor your health and detect problems sooner. The trick is teaching AI algorithms how to cut through the noise.
Computing pioneer Alan Turing suggested training machines with rewards and punishments. Two computer scientists put the idea into practice in the 1980s and set the stage for the likes of ChatGPT.
Smart insoles and socks equipped with sensors and AI are transforming foot health.
Eliminating AI safeguards can increase uncertainty for financial institutions and, in a worst-case scenario, increase the risk of systemic collapse.
Silicosis is preventable but difficult to detect early. A promising new breath test could change this.
To deal with microplastic pollution, it helps agencies to know what kind of plastic they’ve got on their hands.
Humans understand that ‘red ball’ makes sense but ‘ball red’ does not. Large language models? Not so much.
