Humans are expert pattern-finders. But artificial intelligence tools are better at trawling through vast data sets to find anything from waste dumps to heat-tolerant corals.

Lensa is the new AI digital artist you can keep in your pocket. Its ‘creations’ have taken over Twitter and Instagram – but the reception has been mixed.
We’re facing a significant advance in AI using methods that are not described in scientific literature, and with datasets restricted to a single for-profit company.
The use of unreliable, discriminatory automated recruitment tools is on the rise – and they’re completely unregulated.
Ada Lovelace said computers could not invent. But a century later, Alan Turing pointed out inventiveness in machines could be found in their capacity to produce surprising and innovative results.
The newest OpenAI text-generator is a marked improvement over its predecessor – but it still has its pitfalls.
Text-to-image generators like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion portend a future where anyone with a computer can fake a photograph of just about anything.
The story of Meta’s latest AI model shows the pitfalls of machine learning – and a disregard for potential risks.
Artificial intelligence could help create transparency and consistency in the legal system – our model shows how.
The AI leans on a particular tactic for its success. If you knew what it was, beating it would get drastically easier.
Artemis-1 is on its way back to Earth, successfully completing its maiden flight.
A type of computer chip that mimics both the skin and brain could pave the way for wearable devices that monitor and analyze health data using AI right on the body.
Despite their dangers, highly realistic deepfake images and videos are finding positive uses in the creative arts.
Many AI algorithms, like facial recognition software, have been shown to be discriminatory to people of color, especially those who are Black.
Discerning whether that dark splodge in the water is a shark or just, say, seaweed isn’t always straightforward. In reasonable conditions, drone pilots get it right only 60% of the time.
Predictive policing has improved in leaps and bounds and become increasingly automated thanks to big data, data mining and powerful computers.
Would an advanced AI try to take over the world? If it uses a common approach called ‘reinforcement learning’, the answer is almost certainly yes.
Artificial Intelligence has great potential to save the lives of mental health patients.
Linguists have long considered grammar to be the glue of language, and key to how children learn it. But new prose-writing AIs suggest language experience may be more important than grammar.
Potholes have appeared seemingly everywhere after the intense rains. They’re annoying and expensive to fix. But there may be a better way.
