A new study published in Nature has found that X's algorithm—the hidden system or "recipe" that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order—shifts users' political opinions in a more ...

A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside these models. The new method could lead to more reliable, more efficient, ...

Artificial Intelligence has sprung up rather exponentially in the past few years, and this is especially possible because of ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

AI optimists envision a future where artificial general intelligence (AGI) surpasses human intelligence, but the path remains riddled with scientific and logistical hurdles.

To his credit, Kasy is a realist here. He doesn’t presume that any of these proposals will be easy to implement. Or that it will happen overnight, or even in the near future. The troubling question at ...

One example involved a system built by a summer intern for his own project work. The tool geolocates devices within a drawing set and links them to a digital twin of the facility. Instead of searching ...

Computer scientists Maria Apostolaki, Benjamin Eysenbach, and Yasaman Ghasempour; chemists William Jacobs and Erin Stache; physicist Isobel Ojalvo; and mathematician Bartolomeo Stellato are members of ...

LEGO Education’s CS and AI curriculum is designed to build AI literacy by turning students from passive users into active ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...
