Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is here, and it's transforming every aspect of science. From Google’s DeepMind discovering the structure of nearly every known protein to AI deciphering a 2,000-year-old "lost book," new and future computer systems that can outperform humans have near-infinite applications.
But how concerned should we be with the rollout of AI, and what impact could this have on our world? Live Science's expert writers and editors search for answers to these questions and keep you tuned in to the wildest developments in machine learning with the latest AI news, articles and features.
