AGI could now arrive as early as 2026 — but not all scientists agree
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Predictions on the dawn of the AI singularity vary wildly but scientists generally say it will come before 2040, according to new analysis, slashing 20 years off previous predictions.

World's 1st modular quantum computer that can operate at room temperature goes online
By Lisa D. Sparks published
Scientists have built the first networked quantum computer using photons, demonstrating that room-temperature modules can be connected and scaled up.

Scientists discover simpler way to achieve Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance' thanks to AI breakthrough — bringing quantum internet closer to reality
By Peter Ray Allison published
AI has helped physicists discover a simpler way of achieving quantum entanglement. This finding could make it easier to develop quantum communication technologies.

Watch this humanlike robot 'rise from the dead' with creepy speed and stability
By Ian Stokes published
Humanoid robots typically struggle to stand up after being knocked over, but new AI-powered research from China brings us one step closer to the rise of the machines.

Key to faster 6G speeds lies in letting new AI architecture take control, scientists say
By Roland Moore-Colyer published
Scientists are developing AI models that analyze wireless traffic as a whole, making high-speed networks such as 6G more rapid and reliable for users of cell phones and other mobile devices.

'Jetsons' robot finally arrives: Sweater-wearing Neo Gamma android helps with household chores
By Ben Turner published
Built by the Norwegian startup 1X, the Neo Gamma humanoid robot is designed to complete mundane household tasks.

AWS launches 'Ocelot' quantum processor — a chip inspired by Schrödinger's cat that corrects errors exponentially with scale
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
AWS's first-ever quantum chip uses "cat qubits" to reduce errors exponentially as more qubits are added to a system. Scientists say it will lead to scalable and efficient quantum computers.

Scientists create world's 1st chip that can protect data in the age of quantum computing attacks
By Peter Ray Allison published
Scientists in Switzerland have developed a new method to improve internet security against quantum computing attacks, using quantum-resistant encryption and a new type of hardware.

'Math Olympics' has a new contender — Google's AI now 'better than human gold medalists' at solving geometry problems
By Lisa D. Sparks published
Google's second generation of its AI mathematics system combines a language model with a symbolic engine to solve complex geometry problems better than International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medalists.
