Artificial intelligence is here, and it's transforming every aspect of science. From Google’s DeepMind discovering the structure of nearly every known protein to AI deciphering a 2,000-year-old "lost book," new and future computer systems that can outperform humans have near-infinite applications.
But how concerned should we be with the rollout of AI, and what impact could this have on our world? Live Science's expert writers and editors search for answers to these questions and keep you tuned in to the wildest developments in machine learning with the latest AI news, articles and features.
Latest about Artificial Intelligence
AI 'hallucinations' can lead to catastrophic mistakes, but a new approach makes automated decisions more reliable
Researchers have developed a new method to improve the accuracy and transparency of automated anomaly detection systems deployed in critical infrastructure.
AI can predict 'tipping points' for future disasters like pandemics or ecological collapse, scientists say
Predicting dangerous tipping points in complex systems has proven to be a headache for scientists. Now, a new AI system could be poised to do the job for them.
These 'living computers' are made from human neurons — and you can rent one for $500 a month
In the search for less energy-hungry artificial intelligence, some scientists are exploring living computers.
ChatGPT is truly awful at diagnosing medical conditions
The large language model gets medical calls wrong more often than not.
Would you prefer AI make major life decisions for you? Study suggests yes — but you'd be much happier if a human did it
Most people much prefer algorithms to make decisions about the redistribution of resources — but they see the outcomes of human-made decisions as more favorable.
New supercomputing network could lead to AGI, scientists hope, with 1st node coming online within weeks
Scientists hope to accelerate the development of human-level AI using a network of powerful supercomputers — with the first of these machines fully operational by 2025.
Google DeepMind's robotic arm can now beat humans at table tennis
Google's DeepMind has been used to train a robot arm to play table tennis, and it beat human players.
AI models trained on 'synthetic data' could break down and regurgitate unintelligible nonsense, scientists warn
If left unchecked,"model collapse" could make AI systems less useful, and fill the internet with incomprehensible babble.
