Researchers got a better look at the thoughts of chatbots, amateurs learned exactly how complicated simple systems can be, and quantum computers passed an essential milestone.

In a first, researchers have shown that adding more “qubits” to a quantum computer can make it more resilient. It’s an essential step on the long road to practical applications.

While some fret about technology’s social impacts, Raj Reddy still believes in the power of artificial intelligence to improve lives.

Our computers can get a lot more done when they share the load with other machines.

The security system that underlies the internet makes use of a curious fact: You can broadcast part of your encryption to make your information much more secure.

How do we know if a large language model is lying? Letting AI systems argue with each other may help expose the truth.

Dijkstra’s algorithm was long thought to be the most efficient way to find a graph’s best routes. Researchers have now proved that it’s “universally optimal.”

Researchers are exploring new ways that quantum computers will be able to reveal the secrets of complex quantum systems.

To better understand machine learning algorithms, Lenka Zdeborová treats them like physical materials.
