In an early test of how AI can be used to decipher large amounts of health data, researchers at UC San Francisco and Wayne State University found that generative AI tools could perform orders of ...

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

Students are losing some interest in computer science broadly but gaining interest in AI-specific majors and courses.

According to Anthropic, more than 40 percent of CodePath students come from families earning less than $50,000 a year, a nod to the less privileged who may not be able to afford college without ...

Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process. Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it ...

While the commonwealth does have framework for computer science and digital literacy education, there’s no state requirement to teach computer science in K-through-12 schools, according to the ...

Let’s start with a thought experiment: Pretend you could design America’s K–12 education system from scratch. Knowing what we now know about how technology shapes our economy, national security, and ...

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

Access to high school computer science courses has plateaued, and overall high school student participation in those classes has declined slightly, concludes Code.org’s annual report on the state of ...

Space and time aren’t just woven into the background fabric of the universe. To theoretical computer scientists, time and space (also known as memory) are the two fundamental resources of computation.

Trevor Noah proudly displays his certificate of completion with some of the students at Ardmore Elementary School in Bellevue, where he led a computer science class for the Hour of AI during Computer ...

Dr. Shaw and Dr. Hilton teach software engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In ...
