Huxley had hoped to use the newfangled computer to solve the equations. Instead, he was forced to solve them using a hand-cranked mechanical calculator. It took him over three weeks. They did offer a hypothesis, however. They cautiously suggested that…
New public software release gives researchers plain-language access to reusable guidance and tools for building, evaluating, and improving Super Intelligence (SI) enabled systems Editor’s note: The following press release was originally published by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
By Daniel Singer, Editor, StartupHub.ai The Department of Energy today announced $159 million in new awards to advance superintelligence for science (what DOE officially brands as Super Intelligence, or SI), capping year one of the Genesis Mission at 297 projects. WASHINGTON,…
Anthropic has been pushing is biotechnology projects in a bid to drive up its stock price, but scientists warn people need to be realistic. The AI giant has opened a biology lab in the Bay Area, bought two biotech startups…
A new Anthropic study analyzes 207,000 Claude sessions, revealing how AI is used in scientific research and its potential to transform discovery. Surveyed researchers express optimism about AI's future capabilities, with 40% expecting AI to independently conduct full research projects by 2030. However,…
To understand these differences, we develop a measure of theoretical AI capability. Claude use is higher in tasks and fields that score higher on this measure. These also tend to be more cognitive in nature and better suited to reinforcement…
GW became a founding partner of a national initiative aimed at streamlining access to resources for researchers developing artificial intelligence tools to access and use publicly funded scientific research, officials announced last week. The Project ProtoStar initiative aims to make…
