As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Around the world, algorithms are increasingly being asked to do something once reserved for human judgment: help decide who should remain free and who should be deprived of liberty. In recent years, ...

Bio-inspired optimisation algorithms draw upon mechanisms observed in nature to address complex global optimisation tasks. These methods harness principles such as genetic evolution, swarm ...
