AlphaEvolve uses large language models to find new algorithms that outperform the best human-made solutions for data center management, chip design, and more. Google DeepMind has once again used large ...

Modern recruiting is marked by an “algorithmic monoculture” in which only a small number of vendors supply applicant screening algorithms, Stanford researchers said.

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

Genetic information is encoded as linear sequences of nucleotides, represented by letters ranging from thousands to billions. Differences between sequences are identified through comparative ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

In today's volatile business landscape, relying on sporadic flashes of inspiration can be a fragile strategy for maintaining a competitive edge. The truth is, creativity is not a mystical gift ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Artificial intelligence has become a popular tool for job recruiters, in part because programmers can code applicant-screening algorithms to avoid any explicit discrimination in their decision-making ...

The notion of a quantum computer was introduced by Feynman 1 as a solution to the limitations of conventional or classical computers. In numerous fields algorithms designed for quantum computers ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

Justice systems around the world are using artificial intelligence (AI) to assess people with criminal convictions. These AI technologies rely on machine learning algorithms and their key purpose is ...
