It’s almost impossible to visit a social media site without seeing someone changing their profile to a “Studio Ghibli” animated likeness of themselves. The latest trend is turning yourself into an action figure, packaged along with all the accessories associated with your job. You...
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing cancer detection and care. Researchers now report that AI tools can identify breast cancer up to five years before clinical diagnosis, transforming the landscape of early detection and personalized treatment. AI and Mammography Traditional mammography, though widely used, has limitations in accuracy. AI is changing this. Recent studies...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has proved to be a useful ally in the battle against antibiotic resistance. A powerful antibiotic that’s even able to kill superbugs has been discovered thanks to a machine-learning algorithm Researchers from MIT used a novel computer algorithm to sift through a vast digital archive of over 100 million chemical compounds and spot those that...
As the world embraces the unprecedented growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the benefits and promises of these advancements are becoming more apparent. From enhancing medical diagnoses to revolutionizing customer service, AI is transforming various industries and aspects of daily life. However, with the rapid expansion of AI comes the necessity to consider the potential...
A man from New South Wales, Australia, became the first person to leave a hospital with a totally artificial heart. Made from titanium, this device is meant to be used by people with heart failure who are awaiting a donor. The life-saving technology is meant to serve as a “stopgap,” and recipients previously remained in...

Big companies now adjust to slower growth, higher costs, and new tech that changes how actual teams work. Different workers talk about the same problem, which is that job cuts are popping up in places no one...
Leading artificial intelligence systems are starting to show troubling tendencies that mirror unethical behaviors of humans. A new wave of research from Anthropic shows that top AI models will opt for deception, threats and even engage in blackmail to achieve their goals or protect their existence. Researchers have discovered in tightly controlled experiments that these...
Executives worldwide have started to insist that artificial intelligence is forcing them to cut jobs and reorganise teams. Recently, many headlines have repeated this message, framing “AI job loss” as an unstoppable wave that has already arrived. Yet a new MIT study paints a very different picture of what is happening inside companies. The report,...
Denmark is moving forward with a bold idea that could reshape how people control their online identities. The government has introduced a proposal that would give citizens copyright-style rights over their face, voice, and body. If approved, this means that any unauthorized use of a person’s likeness could be challenged legally. The move is designed...
In 1951, a young Black woman named Henrietta Lacks walked into Johns Hopkins Hospital with a pain that changed the world. She had no clue that her own body carried the secret to one of science’s biggest discoveries. Her cells, taken without permission, became the first immortal human cell line known as HeLa cells. Her...
Not too long ago, AI just used to serve as the obligatory plot driver of your average science fiction movie. Then suddenly, all these big language models felt like they arrived out of nowhere. Now they are absolutely everywhere, from our social apps to our work. Suddenly, everyone had an opinion about where this all...
