Sixty-two years ago this summer, Dartmouth professor John McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence. Joi Ito, director of MIT's Media Lab, has come to think it's unhelpful. […]

In 2015, a worried father asked Rhema Vaithianathan a question that still weighs on her mind. […]

Researchers used machine learning techniques and a supercomputer to develop the most accurate models to date for simulations of water. […]

A new study suggests big-data analysis may yield inaccurate representations about people. […]

IBM pitted a computer against two human debaters in the first public demonstration of artificial intelligence technology it's been working on for more than five years. […]

Bloodhounds are famous for their ability to track scents over great distances. Now researchers have developed a modern-day bloodhound -- a robot that can rapidly detect odors from sources on the ground, such as footprints. The robot could even read a message written on the ground using odors as a barcode. […]

Recent breakthroughs in nonequilibrium statistical physics have revealed opportunities to advance the 'thermodynamics of computation,' a field that could have far-reaching consequences for how we understand, and engineer, our computers. […]

System enables people to correct robot mistakes on multi-choice problems. […]

A new study demonstrates that with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it is possible not only to accurately sort sick cardiac cell cultures from healthy ones, but also to differentiate between genetic cardiac diseases. […]

Scientists have recently designed the first neurosurgical robotic system capable of performing bilateral stereotactic neurosurgery inside a magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') scanner. […]
