In February, scientists formed a new field, called organoid intelligence (OI), which is now considered the next frontier of biocomputing. To meet AI's growing computational needs, there's a shift away from traditional Von Neumann architecture towards more innovative approaches. One is neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain's structure, which

So is this the real threat? Not that we’ll believe false things, but that we’ll stop being able to identify true things? Where truth becomes impossible to establish?

This report offers an important ‘link in the chain’ to further understanding the opportunities and limitations for public participation in AI, and we hope the findings will shape and influence industry practice in this area.

brain regions linked to attention and focus align more closely as the familiarity between dog and owner grows.

Many experts are concerned about how the adoption of AI systems over the next decade will affect essential human traits such as empathy, social/emotional intelligence, complex thinking, ability to act independently and sense of purpose. Some have hopes for AIs’ influence on humans’ curiosity, decision-making and creativity.

A new study reveals that regardless of task difficulty, people’s minds increasingly wander with time, reaching a 50% distraction rate towards the end of activities. Analyzing over 10,000 participants in 68 studies, the research found no significant difference in distraction levels across various tasks. This phenomenon persists even without external... See more

One of the most honest accounts I’ve encountered of humanity’s relationship with nonhuman animals comes from political theorist Dinesh Wadiwel, who describes it as a state of war — not a metaphorical war, but a literal one, in which we are the aggressors. If you were an alien who knew nothing about our species, you might expect a civilization that... See more
