A new framework suggests that bursts of neural chaos could be the fingerprints of a conscious mind at work.

Today’s AI is built to respond. The future belongs to proactive systems.

Your real competitive edge isn’t how smart you are — it’s how quickly you can reinvent yourself when the rules change.

Throughout history, the ability to tell increasingly believable stories has become available to more people. Kevin Ashton says that’s a blessing and a curse.

The quiet transfer of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.

Thanks to modern tech, Earth is now considered a ‘detectable’ planet. Astrophysicist Sara Seager explains how this idea can lead us to discovering life elsewhere in our universe.

"The production of the silicon wafers that are used in the chip manufacturing process requires extraordinary levels of purity."

Philosopher Sven Nyholm on reclaiming achievement from the machines.

There are plenty of engineering obstacles, and those can be overcome. But you cannot change the laws of physics, and those matter too.

The “dystopian” biotech imagined in these novels is now changing real lives for the better.

From global DNA screening standards to safeguards for benchtop synthesizers and AI tools, a new biosecurity playbook is taking shape.

Sixty years ago, a little-known philosopher challenged how science understands life. His perspective is finding new relevance in the age of artificial intelligence.

Some sci-fi aliens are wildly implausible. Others aren’t so far-fetched.

By treating the human body as an information system, scientists are using AI to simulate cells, visualize hidden biology, and detect disease at its earliest — and most preventable — stages.

A practical framework for using AI more effectively

Chris Miller explains the hidden reason that global superpowers are obsessed with Taiwan.

AI is not a rupture in history, but a continuation of intelligence emerging where information becomes systematically arranged.

Writer and media theorist Bogna Konior connects cosmos and computer by reconsidering our eerily silent Universe.

"Rationalism is the idea that, in order to truly know something, you have to be able to describe it explicitly."

Moltbook is a social media site built for conversation — but not for humans.

Why we should balance innovation with stewardship — while reframing the “techno-optimists versus doomers” polarization.

Practical guidance for navigating AI’s role in modern learning organizations.

"The process of systematizing, correcting errors, finding approximations, and making them work as civil systems that was what really drove me to start looking at human calculation and what was the foundation that it laid for the modern computer age."

AI expert and insitro CEO Daphne Koller shares her insights about developing the vision and strategy needed to optimize your enterprise AI deployments.

Researchers built a model that behaves like a brain. Without being trained on neural data, the model produced a peculiar signal — one that was later discovered in actual brain activity.

AI will shape the future of work, but human leadership will decide whether that future is good — and happiness should be the touchstone.
