The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has marked a transformative shift in data analysis, interpretation and content generation. These models, ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools shake up the scientific workflow, Sam Rodriques dreams of a more systemic transformation. His start-up company, FutureHouse in San Francisco, California, aims to ...

A day after Google announced its first model capable of reasoning over problems, OpenAI has upped the stakes with an improved version of its own. OpenAI’s new model, called o3, replaces o1, which the ...

There's been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting actual seismic waves to work, ...

A robot named Adam was the first of its kind to do science. Adam mimicked a biologist. After coming up with questions to ask about yeast, the machine tested those questions inside a robotic laboratory ...

As recently as 2022, just building a large language model (LLM) was a feat at the cutting edge of artificial-intelligence (AI) engineering. Three years on, experts are harder to impress. To really ...

Major theoretical works have often triggered new scientific debate, particularly when they address questions that have remained central to physics for more than a century. In recent weeks, following a ...
