Artificial intelligence gives us machines that can beat humans at games such as chess and go. How long before we see AI surpass human intelligence?
Academic rigor, journalistic flair
CSIRO
As Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.

You can’t just buy a radio telescope receiver off the shelf. So CSIRO has been hard at work building receivers for the world’s largest telescopes using the very latest technology.
Australia’s new country of origin food labelling will indicate if food is grown or made in Australia and the proportion of Australian ingredients.
Invasive species and diseases pose a major threat to agriculture – particularly in the countries that can least afford it.
At least 100,000 insects are among the many Australian species still to be formally identified. That’s a problem for any biosecurity experts who need to be able to spot potentially invasive bugs.
Human communication is complex, rich in nuances and frequently includes non-verbal signs. That’s a challenge if you want an intelligent machine to be part of the conversation.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide measurements at Tasmania’s Cape Grim and Antarctica’s Casy Station have now officially passed 400 parts per million and are likely to stay above that for decades to come.
Freshwater covers only 0.5% of the Earth’s surface but is home to 10% of the world’s lifeforms.
Sea levels are rising faster in the Solomon Islands – and send a warning for the rest of the world.
The CSIRO will create a new climate research centre in Hobart with 40 climate scientists.
Half of the world’s vegetated land has got greener in the past 30 years, mostly driven by rising CO2.
A burst of neutrinos detected deep under the Antarctic ice may have originated from a distant quasar on the edge of the visible universe.
Forecasting drought should be about more than weather – to help those likely to be hit hardest, we need financial and even health data too.
This summer has seen Tasmania suffer through drought, bushfires, floods and the worst marine heatwave on record. Is this what life under a climate-changed future will be like?
Global average sea level has risen by about 17 cm between 1900 and 2005, but we didn’t know how much of that was due to us, until now.
A proposal for the Bureau of Meteorology to take on CSIRO climate scientists is a good idea - but CSIRO needs to make sure nothing is lost.
Could sea levels really rise by several metres this century. Probably not, although this century’s greenhouse emissions could potentially set the stage for large rises in centuries to come.
Growing population, growing demand for food, climate change: Australia’s rural lands are facing a number of pressures. So how can we sustainably use them in the future?
Climate change will make it harder to eat healthily.
Eating less meat isn’t the only solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.
