For decades, modernizing enterprise systems has been one of the most expensive and thankless jobs in technology. That calculus is starting to shift. Kabir Nagrecha grew up in the room where enterprise ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Critics of artificial intelligence caution that, as a relatively new technology, its long-term effects on the human brain are still unknown. But a new study shows that AI could be dangerous even in ...

The research, conducted across three separate randomized experiments involving math and reading comprehension tasks, found something that should make any AI user pause and think. After around ten ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...
