Implying chatbots have some kind of consciousness may just be a good marketing ploy by the companies involved.

During my first semester as a computer science graduate student at Princeton, I took COS 402: Artificial Intelligence. Toward the end of the semester, there was a lecture about neural networks. This ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Ever wonder how the PlayStation 5 Pro works? Sony gives us a hefty 37-minute technical breakdown on everything you'd want to know about the new mid-gen ...

Neural networks power today’s AI boom. To understand them, all we need is a map, a cat and a few thousand dimensions. Look at a picture of a cat, and you’ll instantly recognize it as a cat. But try to ...

It has been unclear how to build simulations of entire neural circuits with only measurements from a dead fly’s brain. Using machine learning to combine a wiring diagram with knowledge of the ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

Computing power has increased exponentially over the past few decades. We now have cameras on smartphones with incredible computational photography, voice assistants that respond near instantaneously, ...

Our brains evolved to help us rapidly learn new things. But anyone who has put in hours of practice to perfect their tennis serve, only to reach a plateau, can attest that our brains aren’t infinitely ...
