Mathematicians may have a better way to measure agreement across different datasets. Agreement affects reproducibility, meta-analysis, and prediction to fill in missing data points. We need a more ...

For centuries, humans looked to seers and astrologers to determine fate. Today, we look to algorithms, and the loss of agency is the same.

Three books unpack our infatuation with prediction, and what we lose when we outsource this task to machines. To be human is, fundamentally, to be a forecaster. Occasionally a pretty good one. Trying ...

The transition between wakefulness and states of reduced consciousness, whether pharmacologically induced via anesthesia or pathologically necessitated by ...

• A new AI machine learning algorithm capable of predicting planetary orbits that may one day help accelerate physics research in other areas such as renewable energy. • Strikingly, the algorithms ...
