A huge investment in building an unproven quantum computer may help local science and industry, but the results are far from a sure thing.
Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
The effects of AI’s growth on global security could be difficult to predict.
Spreadsheet-related errors can have serious consequences in the private and public sector. But what can we do to overcome them?
Apple’s phenomenal success and the field of user experience design can be traced back to the launch of the Macintosh personal computer.
Microsoft Copilot can summarise meetings and even formulate arguments. But as good as that sounds, we shouldn’t blindly trust its accuracy.
Generative AI has changed the ways we work, study and even pray. Here are some highlights of an astonishing year of change – and what we can expect next.
Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.
Several companies have made quantum computers, but these early models have yet to demonstrate quantum advantage: the ability to outstrip ordinary supercomputers.
Prolific and highly profitable, LockBit provides ransomware as a service. Aspiring cybercriminals sign up to the scheme, and the group takes a cut. Here’s how it works.
If we decide that AI helps us think freely, we may need to give it rights too.
Conventional agriculture offers farmers few choices about which crops to grow or how to raise them. A new approach uses computing to construct better strategies with lower environmental impacts.
In the future, our computer may be able to produce long-term forecasts in areas such as climate change, bushfires and financial markets – while being cheaper and more accessible than supercomputers.
Integrated computing enables teachers to incorporate basic programming skills into K-12 students’ regular math, science and language arts classes.
Venn diagrams have helped the development of logic and computing.
Almost everybody uses the internet just about every day. But do you really know what the internet is?
In the age of AI, people might wonder if there’s anything computers can’t do. The answer is yes. In fact, there are numerous problems that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful computers.
From ChatGPT to Lensa, it feels like AI is here to take over. But despite some impressive results, such systems still have plenty of limitations.
Artificial intelligence has arrived. But what is it, exactly – and what’s behind some of the most splashy AIs we have encountered to date?
