AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

The global economy as we know it is dying. Around the beginning of the 18th century, a “Great Divergence” began between ‘the West and the Rest’ – one that tipped the global socioeconomic scales for ...

Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, “Probability is the ...

By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they're far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as ...

A new study published in Nature has found that X's algorithm—the hidden system or "recipe" that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order—shifts users' political opinions in a more ...

A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

It’s a breakthrough in the field of random walks.

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

By explicitly modeling each step of a problem and gradually fading away supports, teachers can give students a clear path to mastering new content.

DeepMind's Aletheia is a huge advance in AI-driven mathematical reasoning. It is a research agent built on top of Gemini Deep ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...
