Agriculture takes a huge toll on the earth’s environment by producing massive CO2 emissions and taking up a lot of land. But there is a way to make it more sustainable: Agroforestry. And it has been around for thousands of years – we just forgot about it. We’re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. […]
We may build incredible AI. But can we contain our cruelty? Oxford professor Nick Bostrom explains.
As AI technology advances at an unprecedented pace, experts and policymakers are becoming increasingly concerned about its potential impact on society. From job displacement to biased decision-making, there are growing fears that AI could have unintended consequences if left unregulated. But do we even see what we think we are looking at?
Everyone has heard of honeybees, but what about the 4,000 species of wild, native bees that live alongside honey bees here in North America?
Think honey bees are disappearing? Or that the more hives we have the better? Think again. Here’s why they’re the bad boys of the bee world, and what we should be focusing on instead. We’re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn’t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A […]
Are insects the key to brain-inspired computing? Neuroscientist Frances S. Chance thinks so. In this buzzy talk, she shares examples of the incredible capabilities of insects — like the dragonfly’s deadly accurate hunting skills and the African dung beetle’s super strength — and shows how untangling the mysterious web of neurons in their tiny brains […]
In a new study, scientists at MIT, Harvard, Caltech and elsewhere report that they have observed a star swallowing a planet for the first time. They say Earth may suffer a similar fate in 5 billion years. (Learn more: http://news.mit.edu/2023/astronomers-…)
Agencia SINC Cuando una estrella se queda sin combustible, se hincha hasta alcanzar un millón de veces su tamaño original, engullendo toda la materia, incluidos los planetas, que encuentra a su paso. Hasta ahora los científicos habían observado indicios de estrellas justo antes y poco después de consumir planetas enteros, pero nunca habían captado una in fraganti. Científicos del […]
Agencia SINC Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid ha desarrollado nuevos conceptos de diseño para integrar la mecánica y la electrónica dentro de la mano de un robot humanoide, que permite una comunicación más amigable con los humanos y favorece su interacción social. ManoPla es una mano robótica cuya finalidad es la comunicación gestual. Ha sido ideada y desarrollada por investigadores del […]
A leading expert in artificial intelligence warns that the race to develop more sophisticated models is outpacing our ability to regulate the technology. Critics say his warnings overhype the dangers of new AI models like GPT. But MIT professor Max Tegmark says private companies risk leading the world into dangerous territory without guardrails on their […]
There is so much being said about artificial intelligence these days. In order to understand this latest wave of AI, it is important to know how it works and why this moment is different from developments in the past. WSJ science reporter Eric Niiler joins host Zoe Thomas for the first installment of Tech News […]
Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by best-selling author of ‘Sapiens’ and historian Yuval Noah Harari and Chief Executive of anti-piracy business TCAT Nick Stewart to discuss the current status of Artificial Intelligence and the potential threat it poses to humankind. Yuval eloquently explains how AI would be a dictator’s dream and could be the basis […]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a new era in modern astronomy and as its first year of observing the universe comes to an end, we take a look at all the stunning images it has captured. We got to see the full capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope with images of distant […]
It took more than 300 researchers and 8 telescopes to capture an image of our galaxy’s black hole.
