Artificial intelligence is taking on some of the hardest problems in pure maths, arguably demonstrating sophisticated reasoning and creativity – and a big step forward for AI

Adding more masts could reduce the overall energy use of phone networks by two-thirds and boost handset battery life by 50 per cent

An AI program can learn from smartphone users' behaviours in order to send timely pop-up reminders about when to close attention-grabbing apps. The system effectively reduced how often people opened apps such as TikTok

A quantum computer built by Quantinuum uses “logical quantum bits” designed by Microsoft to run simple computational routines with an unprecedented level of reliability

Researchers made an AI image generator produce less offensive images by feeding it a tiny amount of additional training data

AI allows robots to listen to verbal instructions while learning to correctly perform household tasks. That could enable more natural interactions between humans and robots

When people were challenged to debate contentious topics with a human or GPT-4, they were more likely to be won over by the artificial intelligence

A 63-hour-long marathon of GPS jamming attacks disrupted global satellite navigation systems for hundreds of aircraft flying through the Baltic region – and Russia is thought to be responsible

Gamers seemed to be more comfortable after playing in a specialist gaming chair compared with a standard office chair

An AI-powered robot named Emo watches people’s facial expressions and tries to match them, in an effort to make robots more relatable

We are heading for a demographic crunch later this century, but might a workforce of intelligent machines compensate for a likely lack of human workers?

Many medical implants run on batteries that need to be recharged, but what if you could do so just by breathing?

The large language models behind AI chatbots are developing so rapidly that after eight months, a model only needs half the computing power to hit the same benchmark score - which is much faster than the rate at which computer chips improve

An AI forecaster based on the language model GPT-4 can predict the outcome of future events more accurately than single humans. In some cases, it can even outperform the “wisdom of crowds”

A robot that can design, build and test objects made from folded paper can make paper planes that fly further than ones made by a human having the same number of attempts

At its AI conference, Nvidia announced new software and hardware for AI-powered humanoid robots: a model called Project GR00T and a computer called Jetson Thor

Elon Musk's brain-computer interface firm Neuralink has released a video of its first patient, Noland Arbaugh, controlling a computer cursor with his thoughts - is this the future?

Researchers claim to have combined the benefits of rolling robots with those of flying drones by creating a device that rotates along the ground but hops over obstacles

An analysis of work posted on a popular art-sharing website finds that users who adopted generative artificial intelligence tools increased their output, but saw a drop in novelty

An AI model trained on data from Premier League matches can help football coaches devise tactics for attacking or defending corner kicks
