Imagine an October surprise like no other: Only a week before Nov. 5, 2024, a video recording reveals a secret meeting between Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The American and Ukrainian presidents agree to immediately initiate Ukraine into NATO under “the special emergency membership protocol” and prepare for a nuclear weapons strike against Russia. Suddenly, the world is on the cusp of Armageddon.Imagine an October surprise like no other: Only a week before Nov. 5, 2024, a video recording reveals a secret meeting between Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A new study explores how artificial intelligence can not only better predict new scientific discoveries but can also usefully expand them. The researchers, who published their work in Nature Human Behaviour, built models that could predict human inferences and the scientists who will make them.A new study explores how artificial intelligence can not only better predict new scientific discoveries but can also usefully expand them.

Large language models (LLMs) are an evolution of natural language processing (NLP) techniques that can rapidly generate texts closely resembling those written by humans and complete other simple language-related tasks. These models have become increasingly popular after the public release of Chat GPT, a highly performing LLM developed by OpenAI.Large language models (LLMs) are an evolution of natural language processing (NLP) techniques that can rapidly generate texts closely resembling those written by humans and complete other simple language-related tasks.

Imagine that a team of scientists has developed a machine-learning model that can predict whether a patient has cancer from lung scan images. They want to share this model with hospitals around the world so clinicians can start using it in diagnoses.Imagine that a team of scientists has developed a machine-learning model that can predict whether a patient has cancer from lung scan images.

A pair of economists at MIT have conducted an experiment designed to determine if the use of ChatGPT by college-educated professionals can make them more productive. In their study, reported in the journal Science, Shakked Noy and Whitney Zhang designed and conducted a study in which college-educated professionals engaged in incentivized writing tasks.A pair of economists at MIT have conducted an experiment designed to determine if the use of ChatGPT by college-educated professionals can make them more productive.

A research team from Skoltech introduced a model to facilitate the planning stage of oil well development. It will help obtain important data about a well—for example, the model can compare a prospective well with those already functioning in the proximity to predict its oil-producing properties and improve well drilling. The study came out in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters.A research team from Skoltech introduced a model to facilitate the planning stage of oil well development.
