Artificial Intelligence
Data centers consume enormous amounts of power, but their steady demand could make the grid more efficient — and lower costs for everyone.
From 2004 through 2017, Saturn was imaged many times and from many angles up close by Cassini. This new viral image isn't real; it's AI.
As AI overwhelms the web, we will need a way to distinguish people from machines.
AI is unlocking unprecedented capabilities — and exposing new vulnerabilities just as quickly.
Neuroscientist Christof Koch on why reflective self-consciousness separates us from intelligent machines.
Activist, author, and Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani explains why playing it safe is hurting workplaces — and how to change it.
Every generation has faced a version of this moment — the question has never been what our tools can do, but what we choose to do with them.
Higher productivity drives increases in wealth, wages, and living standards. AI could be just what we need to solve many of today’s problems — if we manage the gains wisely.
A new framework suggests that bursts of neural chaos could be the fingerprints of a conscious mind at work.
Today’s AI is built to respond. The future belongs to proactive systems.
Your real competitive edge isn’t how smart you are — it’s how quickly you can reinvent yourself when the rules change.
Throughout history, the ability to tell increasingly believable stories has become available to more people. Kevin Ashton says that’s a blessing and a curse.
The quiet transfer of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.
Philosopher Sven Nyholm on reclaiming achievement from the machines.
There are plenty of engineering obstacles, and those can be overcome. But you cannot change the laws of physics, and those matter too.
The “dystopian” biotech imagined in these novels is now changing real lives for the better.
From global DNA screening standards to safeguards for benchtop synthesizers and AI tools, a new biosecurity playbook is taking shape.
Sixty years ago, a little-known philosopher challenged how science understands life. His perspective is finding new relevance in the age of artificial intelligence.
Some sci-fi aliens are wildly implausible. Others aren’t so far-fetched.
By treating the human body as an information system, scientists are using AI to simulate cells, visualize hidden biology, and detect disease at its earliest — and most preventable — stages.

A practical framework for using AI more effectively
AI is not a rupture in history, but a continuation of intelligence emerging where information becomes systematically arranged.
Writer and media theorist Bogna Konior connects cosmos and computer by reconsidering our eerily silent Universe.
Moltbook is a social media site built for conversation — but not for humans.
Why we should balance innovation with stewardship — while reframing the “techno-optimists versus doomers” polarization.
Practical guidance for navigating AI’s role in modern learning organizations.
Researchers built a model that behaves like a brain. Without being trained on neural data, the model produced a peculiar signal — one that was later discovered in actual brain activity.
AI will shape the future of work, but human leadership will decide whether that future is good — and happiness should be the touchstone.
Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
The case for why AI systems are not merely "stochastic parrots."
