More than half of Americans over 50 have used artificial intelligence technologies, from voice assistants to health apps, but they want transparency about when they’re interacting with AI rather than humans. A new national poll reveals a generation cautiously navigating the AI revolution while demanding clearer information about potential risks. The University of Michigan National … Read more
Watch a dog navigate from sidewalk to forest floor—notice how seamlessly it shifts from trotting to bounding, adjusting its gait without conscious thought. Now scientists at the University of Leeds have taught a four-legged robot named “Clarence” to do the same thing, learning in just nine hours what takes young animals days or weeks to … Read more
Three surgical robots trained on video demonstrations have achieved what many thought was years away: performing complex procedures with the precision of expert surgeons and the adaptability to handle the unexpected twists that define real medical emergencies. The systems mark a watershed moment where artificial intelligence moves from simple surgical assistance to genuine autonomous decision-making … Read more
The factory worker in Düsseldorf no longer lifts 50-pound components twelve hours a day. The bank clerk in Munich spends less time hunched over spreadsheets, her shoulders finally relaxing after decades of tension. Across Germany, something unexpected is happening as artificial intelligence reshapes work: people are getting healthier. This wasn’t supposed to be the story. … Read more
Hybrid collectives consisting of humans and artificial intelligence make significantly more accurate medical diagnoses than either medical professionals or AI systems alone. New research analyzing over 40,000 diagnoses reveals that combining human expertise with AI models creates a powerful diagnostic partnership that outperforms traditional approaches. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of … Read more
Most of today’s elementary students will work in jobs that don’t exist yet, and those careers will demand advanced artificial intelligence skills. Yet only 13 countries worldwide are prioritizing comprehensive AI workforce training, according to new research from the University of Georgia. The study examined national AI strategies from 50 countries to understand how governments … Read more
Scientists have developed a machine learning algorithm that can predict how quickly your brain processes information using just a few basic health measurements. The new study reveals that age, blood pressure, and body mass index are the strongest predictors of cognitive performance—more powerful than diet or exercise habits. This discovery could transform how doctors identify … Read more
Scientists have developed a new type of retinal implant that not only restored vision in blind mice but also gave them the ability to see infrared light—something even healthy eyes cannot detect. The device, made from interwoven tellurium nanowires, represents a significant step forward in artificial vision technology and could eventually help millions of people … Read more
The widespread push for AI “guardrails” fundamentally misunderstands how to regulate artificial intelligence safely and effectively, according to new research from University of Pennsylvania and University of Notre Dame scholars. Instead of fixed barriers that constrain innovation, policymakers should impose flexible “leashes” that allow AI to explore new domains while maintaining constant human oversight, the … Read more
Workers replaced by artificial intelligence react differently at the cash register than those laid off by human competitors, according to new research that reveals how automation anxiety shapes our shopping habits. A study spanning five experiments found that people who lose their jobs to AI algorithms or robots gravitate toward flashy, status-symbol purchases, while those … Read more
