DeepMind introduces AI agent that learns to complete various tasks in a scalable world model

Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various other tasks. Yet […]

How to ensure youth, parents, educators and tech companies are on the same page on AI

Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It’s in our phones, schools and homes. For young people, AI shapes how they learn, connect and express themselves. But it also raises real concerns about privacy, […]

Harnessing disorder: Metamaterials researchers achieve static mechanical cloaking and camouflage

A new collaborative study between IMDEA Materials Institute, China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, and the Southern University of Science and Technology, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field […]

Turning pollution into clean fuel with stable methane production from carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the world’s most abundant pollutants and a key driver of climate change. To mitigate its impact, researchers around the world are exploring ways to capture CO2 from the atmosphere […]
