Could a machine ever feel pain or pleasure? Could it have its own inner experience of the world? As artificial intelligence grows more fluent in conversation, reasoning and problem-solving, this question is migrating from science fiction to the lab. It is of particular interest to researchers probing the origins of consciousness.Could a machine ever feel pain or pleasure? Could it have its own inner experience of the world?

Cats, dogs, wolves and other agile four-legged animals can easily jump and squeeze through tight spaces while moving at high speed. Reproducing similar agile motions and skills in quadrupedal robots has so far proved challenging.Cats, dogs, wolves and other agile four-legged animals can easily jump and squeeze through tight spaces while moving at high speed.

For 30 years, the World Wide Web has run on a surprisingly profound social contract: Most sites are free for search engines to access, but if you use their content, you give credit by linking to the source.For 30 years, the World Wide Web has run on a surprisingly profound social contract: Most sites are free for search engines to access, but if you use their content, you give credit by linking to the source.Internet[#item_full_content]

The 1960s were a time of great change in technology, culture and politics. Television was radically altering the media environment, and nobody was quite sure how to think about it.The 1960s were a time of great change in technology, culture and politics.

Arco Bast studies how neurons communicate. Earlier this year, the Janelia postdoc encountered a more mechanical version of the same problem: The components of his custom microscope could not easily communicate with one another.Arco Bast studies how neurons communicate.

Whether employees are worried about losing their jobs to AI depends largely on their knowledge of artificial intelligence—and on the extent to which their work can be digitized. This is one of the findings of the latest AI Monitor published by TU Darmstadt, based on a representative survey of more than 2,000 people conducted in cooperation with the market research and polling institute YouGov.Whether employees are worried about losing their jobs to AI depends largely on their knowledge of artificial intelligence—and on the extent to which their work can be digitized.

Yankai Wang, a Ph.D. student in organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business, was reading a paper about how transformers—the architecture behind large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude—might be used to study disease development by tracing how one condition tends to follow another.Yankai Wang, a Ph.D. student in organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business, was reading a paper about how transformers—the architecture behind large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude—might be used to study disease development by tracing how one condition tends to follow another.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
