Academics Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argue in their new book that the technology could lead to our extinction. Is there reason to believe them?

Computing power has come a long way since mathematician Alan Turing broke the Nazi’s Enigma machine code. Even so, the Father of AI saw what the possibilities were way back in 1951 when he gave a ...

For over seven decades, the Turing test was considered the gold standard for artificial intelligence: can a machine convince ...

An important scientific benchmark that has lasted for over seven decades has been broken by artificial intelligence (AI). A new breakthrough study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Alan Turing's radical insight was that any mechanical thought process could be stripped down to a few symbolic operations on a strip of tape. This video unpacks how that elegant simplification became ...

Until recently, AI’s role in research felt like having a useful assistant. It could summarise a paper, clean up a dataset or draft an abstract. Researchers were still in charge of the thinking. That ...
