As deepfakes get better, companies are rushing to develop technology to detect them. But little of their potential harm will be fixed without social and legal solutions.

Astronomers think there’s another planet in our solar system, but no one has been able to see it. That could be because it’s not a conventional planet at all.

Publicly, the platform says it’s trying to do what it can to minimize the amplification of extreme content. But it’s still looking for ways to keep users on the site.

Gary Marcus, a leader in the field, discusses how we could achieve general intelligence—and why that might make machines safer.

A new analysis suggests that dew harvesting, an affordable passive technology, could be practical in places where it has never been possible before.

A secret-shopper study shows that automated medicine is safer and more efficient than we thought.

With help from a neural network, researchers reconstructed an image the artist created and painted over during his Blue Period.

Well-hidden sea walls, white rooftops, and community programs to monitor for signs of heat illnesses are all part of the strategy for helping the Big Apple cope with global warming.

Cells from the plants have been turned into a tough biocomposite that could break down naturally after its useful life is over.

Bans in cities could spread to states, then up to Washington.

How accessible would a cure be to the people who need it?

Hao Li sees deepfake technology as moving quickly toward being indistinguishable from reality.

The result, obtained from mobile-phone records, raises an obvious question–why?

It’s time for a broad reckoning on the ethics of funding, but creating good policies won’t be easy.
