Summary: A large-scale analysis of over 24,000 people in the UK reveals that childhood disadvantage has a lasting impact on how intelligence translates into social success. While higher cognitive ability is typically associated with increased trust in others, the research finds that for those who grew up in difficult environments, this “intelligence-to-trust” pipeline is significantly
Cerebras Systems has done what many chip startups aspire to but few ever achieve. On Thursday, the company and long-time Nvidia rival raised $5.55 billion in an initial public offering (IPO), making the company worth more than $66 billion on its first day of trading. The milestone didn’t happen overnight. It took more than a
Participant CT scan examples of concordant, overestimated, and underestimated calcium score by AI. The Agatston score (AS) of A1 was consistent with that of B1 (50.9 vs. 50.9). The AS of A2 was higher than that of B2 (199.79 vs. 5.50) due to misidentification of mitral valve calcification. The CACS of A3 was lower than
As the adoption of generative AI expands in public institutions, competition for 'document AI automation' technology—which can extend beyond simple document recognition to actual administrative tasks—is intensifying. Particularly in the public sector, there is a growing emphasis on certification systems capable of objectively verifying not only AI performance but also security, stability, and operational reliability.
Beginning a PhD is rarely straightforward. Beginning one just as the world shuts down adds an entirely new dimension to adaptability. For George Mason University biosciences PhD student Matthew Lefkowitz, that quality would come to define his doctoral journey. Lefkowitz at the National Institutes of Health.

Summary : Humans have been dreaming of thinking machines for more than 2,700 years, but real work on building them started in 1943 with the first neural networks. Progress during the following 80 years was slow, with many disappointments and “AI Winters,” but advances built up over time as compute scaled. Themes seen during this

Last semester, I assigned students in my energy storage systems class a problem set comparing the electrical designs of supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and flywheel systems. One submission stopped me cold. The formatting was polished. The structure was logical. And the technical content was confidently, elaborately wrong. Clearly, ChatGPT had hallucinated charging-discharging characteristics and invented efficiency
Human Resources Human resources (HR) today requires not just the adoption of AI tools, but leaders who will deliberately reshape how the HR function operates, governs, and develops people, say Konstantinos Trantopoulos, Shlomo Ben-Hur, and Michael Wade. The way organizations find, develop, deploy, and support talent has transformed through the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
