Everyone wants to know if AI will replace their job. Jennifer Doudna, co-inventor of CRISPR, has a clear-eyed take from inside the lab.

Our beliefs about AI consciousness may depend less on evidence and more on self-interest.

Making more complicated, more precise predictive calculations tells us what real experiments should deliver. AI just surpassed humans at it.

The ability to see your options clearly and act on them has never been more valuable.

Tech journalist Joanna Stern spent a year using as many AI products as she could. It changed more than her workflow.

Machine learning tools are allowing scientists to better understand forms of intelligence that operate on spaces and timescales utterly unlike our own.

Why does life keep getting more complex? Why doesn't evolution get stuck? Physicist Stephen Wolfram has been working on this for decades. Turns out the answer is more simple (and more strange) than we expected.

If AI can someday make scientific breakthroughs, what would be left for the brightest human minds to discover?

Many think that intelligence can be outsourced to AI. Einstein wouldn't have used it. If he had, he never would have become Einstein.

Philosopher Gert Biesta on the real reason we should be wary of AI in education.

The printing press gave us objective truth. Social media made truth tribal again. AI could make it something else entirely.

Jamir Nazir says “The Serpent in the Grove” came from a childhood memory. The internet said it came from a machine.

Neuroscientist Anil Seth on the deep differences between human minds and artificial ones.

From early arcades to AI-generated worlds, video games have continually expanded the “magic circle” of play.

Wargames are helping answer one of the biggest questions of the AI era: how machines might reshape human decision-making in war.

A look at what could be if we ignore the doomers and make the most of AI.

The AI energy debate focuses on supply — but smarter planning could deliver more computing from the same megawatts.

Data centers consume enormous amounts of power, but their steady demand could make the grid more efficient — and lower costs for everyone.

From 2004 through 2017, Saturn was imaged many times and from many angles up close by Cassini. This new viral image isn't real; it's AI.

As AI overwhelms the web, we will need a way to distinguish people from machines.

AI is unlocking unprecedented capabilities — and exposing new vulnerabilities just as quickly.

Neuroscientist Christof Koch on why reflective self-consciousness separates us from intelligent machines.

Activist, author, and Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani explains why playing it safe is hurting workplaces — and how to change it.

Every generation has faced a version of this moment — the question has never been what our tools can do, but what we choose to do with them.

Higher productivity drives increases in wealth, wages, and living standards. AI could be just what we need to solve many of today’s problems — if we manage the gains wisely.

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

Jim Al-Khalili introduces the technologies emerging from the second quantum revolution.

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.
