The world’s biggest pharmaceutical company by revenue shed light on its AI strategy.

A pair of papers investigate how increasingly human-like chatbots affect users’ emotions.

Materials that have specific properties are essential to progress in critical technologies like solar cells and batteries. A machine learning model designs new materials to order.

An AI agent synthesizes novel scientific research hypotheses. It's already making an impact in biomedicine.

To date, efforts to decode what people are thinking from their brain waves often relied on electrodes implanted in the cortex. New work used devices outside the head to pick up brain signals that enabled an AI system, as a subject typed, to accurately guess what they were typing.

Harvard University amassed a huge new text corpus for training machine learning models.

Building a foundation model takes tremendous amounts of data. In the coming year, I hope we’ll enable models to learn more from less data.

How do agents based on large language models compare to human experts when it comes to proposing machine learning research? Pretty well, according to one study.

A man who lost the ability to speak four years ago is sounding like his earlier self, thanks to a collection of brain implants and machine learning models.

While some observers argue that large language models can’t produce truly original output, new work prompted them to generate novel scientific research.

The boom in AI is jeopardizing big tech’s efforts to reach its targets for emissions of greenhouse gasses.

A deep learning model significantly reduced deaths among critically ill hospital patients.

The latest update of DeepMind’s AlphaFold model is designed to find the structures of not just proteins but all biologically active molecules as well as interactions between them.

A new AI method directs scientists toward promising avenues of inquiry.

Scientists pledged to control their use of AI to produce potentially hazardous biological materials.
