AI could crack unsolvable problems — and humans won’t be able to understand the results
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: robotics/AI
AI promises to help scientists do more, faster, with less money. But it brings a host of new concerns, too — and if scientists rush ahead with AI adoption they risk transforming science into something that escapes public understanding and trust, and fails to meet the needs of society.
Experts have already identified at least three illusions that can ensnare researchers using AI.

Entering The Artificial General Intelligence Spectrum In 2025
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
Technological development has hit warp speed – in a flash, stars have stretched into starlines and where we are today is far from where we were just days ago. It’s increasingly difficult to predict where we will be tomorrow.
One thing is clear: we are entering the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) spectrum and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) now seems clearly within reach. However it is defined, AGI will not appear suddenly; it will evolve and already we see signs of its incremental unfolding.
AGI has long been the ultimate goal—a technology capable of performing the mental work of humans, transforming how we work, live, think. Now, as we step into 2025, glimmers of AGI are already appearing and promise to grow stronger as the year moves along.
