The A to Z of Artificial Intelligence

BY BILLY PERRIGO 

APRIL 13, 2023 1:02 PM EDT

As artificial intelligence becomes a larger part of our world, it’s easy to get lost in its sea of jargon. But it has never been more important to get your bearings than today.

AI is poised to have a major impact on the job market in the coming years (see: Automation). Discussions over how to manage it are playing a larger part in our political conversation (see: Regulation). And some of its most crucial concepts are things that you won’t have been taught in school (see: Competitive Pressure)./.../

JWST may have just glimpsed them. Listen to the podcast Read the article Around the Web New Image of M87 Black Hole The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has released a new image of the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, Jennifer Ouellette reports for Ars Technica. The new image is a more detailed version of one released in 2019 — the first glimpse ever of any black hole. At the time, astrophysicist Janna Levin wrote for Quanta about what that image meant to her and her field. Eye Cite Since Darwin, biologists have wondered how evolution could drive the development of complex, intricate organs such as the eye. New research suggests that a key gene stolen from bacteria might have played a role in accelerating the eye’s evolution, reports Elizabeth Pennisi for Science Magazine. Some lines of evidence suggest that the evolution of complexity can often be almost inevitable, even arising in the absence of natural selection. In 2013, Carl Zimmer wrote for Quanta about this “zero-force” evolutionary law. #The Alantic What it takes to make 165 years of journalism available online Digitizing The Atlantic’s archive and turning it into a product for readers are two different things. Here’s how we did both. It was, above anything else, an editorial imperative. The right thing to do for our readers. As The Atlantic’s deputy executive editor Sarah Yager puts it, making journalism is really about creating a record of the world around us. It’s about documenting what is happening and hopefully helping readers to make sense of it. And there’s enormous value in being able to learn from what was happening in the past, and how history was interpreted in real time./../ #Cesar Victora CNPq e MCTI anunciam o vencedor do Prêmio Almirante Álvaro Alberto Nesta 35ª edição a premiação contempla a área de Ciências da Vida e premia o epidemiologista, professor da UFPel, Cesar Gomes Victora
