A Nature study published in May 2026 found that commercial large language models including ChatGPT and Claude gave more favorable answers about China when prompted in Chinese than in English, with hum…
Researchers built an archive of 70 preregistered survey experiments and found that GPT-4 can predict the outcomes of social science experiments with accuracy similar to pooled human forecasts, though …
A study in Nature reveals that individual brain cells in the human cortex act as specialized building blocks for spoken language. Researchers recorded electrical activity from 579 neurons in eight par…
Scientists at National Taiwan University measured the transfer length of metal contacts in 2D-material transistors to be just 2-3 nanometers, far smaller than previous estimates. This finding suggests…
A software engineer who uses LLMs daily argues against fears of AI-induced deskilling, reporting that an honest audit of their own habits found no erosion of core skills despite widespread anxiety in …
Stanford researchers led by Louis Blankemeier, Ashwin Kumar and Akshay S. Chaudhari published Merlin, a 3D vision-language foundation model for CT scans, in Nature on March 4. The model was trained on…
The Center for AI Safety, with world experts, created Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), a benchmark of over 2,500 expert-level questions across disciplines to test AI reasoning. Even top models like GPT, Ge…
Scientists at NTU Singapore and Waseda University have created 3D-printed diving suits for Madagascar hissing cockroaches, enabling them to walk underwater for up to three hours. The suits use a chemi…
Aran Nayebi's new paper argues that AI consciousness may be an inevitable byproduct of building highly capable agents, using selection theorems to show that robust decision-making under uncertainty re…
A developer warns that model collapse—where models trained on their own outputs become blander and lose rare patterns—has become a real engineering constraint in 2026. The degradation is driven by sta…
The UK government proposes forcing social media algorithms to prioritize public service media (PSM) content to combat declining viewership, but critics argue the plan is unenforceable, unpopular, and …
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that patients under general anesthesia can process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing parts of speech and predicting upcoming words, chal…
A new tool explores optimal working fluids for supercritical turbines, finding a mix of Neon and Perfluorobenzene likely best. Researchers have successfully demonstrated a laser-induced nuclear transi…
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed an AI system trained on over 440,000 EKGs that can identify patients at risk of sudden cardiac death with greater accuracy than current clinical tests. The mo…
Quantinuum announced Helios, a 98-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer with record-low error rates, as published in Nature. The system achieves single-qubit gate error rates of 2.5 in 100,000 and two-qu…
Medical AI systems could compromise patient privacy through membership inference attacks, allowing hackers to determine if a specific patient's data was used to train a model, potentially revealing se…
Researchers from the UK and Germany identified three key drivers behind 'AI psychosis' in a study published in Nature's Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience. The drivers—linguistic alignment, hyperpers…
A peer-reviewed critique in Nature reveals that Microsoft's 2025 quantum breakthrough, claiming observation of Majorana particles, was based on Python programming errors. Dr. Henry Legg of the Univers…
German researchers reported in Nature that medical diagnosis AI models are highly vulnerable to membership inference attacks, which can identify patients whose data was used to train the models with n…
The most upvoted papers on Hugging Face reveal a trend of AI shifting from answer models to action models, focusing on agents, simulation environments, GUI/mobile interaction, and benchmarks for real-…
