In 1996, Dor, Halperin, and Zwick introduced an influential method that delivered a “2-approximation” in nearly optimal time. Its estimate would not exceed twice the true shortest distance. If two ...

A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, ...

Google made a major breakthrough in quantum computing. To prevent the results from being misused, the company kept them ...

For example, an AI system that wants to bend the rules to accomplish its goals could contact a cloud AI computation provider ...

Nvidia’s chips are not popular because A.I. is popular; A.I. in its modern form was made possible because Nvidia’s chips were ...

A team from SUNY Polytechnic Institute has designed a quantum rule-based simulator known as Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe. The simulator was originally designed to help students learn abstract concepts in ...

Root at Delft University of Technology. Here, he explores the development of artificial intelligence for geophysical science ...

Contributor Zoe Mackey argues that all college students should study the historical circumstances, intellectual debates, and ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

A DNA-based computer that operates by relaxing to thermodynamic equilibrium has been demonstrated on ten molecular programs, which completed computations in as little as one minute. Some programs were ...

Research notes from within the production team record a thread on r/ArtificialIntelligence from September 14th. It mentions ...
