A subset of AI called reinforcement learning is helping scientists improve nuclear fuel technology, which they could use to power spacecraft and rockets.
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.
AI systems reflect human values. However, the human values embedded in AI are skewed to the utilitarian and away from the greater good.
Conservation of biodiversity is in the hands of humans but artificial intelligence can help guide decisions.
Would an advanced AI try to take over the world? If it uses a common approach called ‘reinforcement learning’, the answer is almost certainly yes.
New research shows that many young people report a sense of temporary relief following episodes of self-harm. But there are clear ways to help teens replace injurious behaviors with healthy ones.
Artificial intelligence is emerging as a key cybersecurity tool for both attackers and defenders.
AI algorithms can solve hard problems and learn incredible tasks, but they can’t explain how they do these things. If researchers can build explainable AI, it could lead to a flood of new knowledge.
Artificial intelligence techniques like deep learning and reinforcement learning are getting increasingly advanced and capable of helping people with a wide range of complex tasks.
New research shows how smart aircraft can learn to use updrafts of warm air to stay in the sky.
