Artificial intelligence is here, and it's transforming every aspect of science. From Google’s DeepMind discovering the structure of nearly every known protein to AI deciphering a 2,000-year-old "lost book," new and future computer systems that can outperform humans have near-infinite applications.
But how concerned should we be with the rollout of AI, and what impact could this have on our world? Live Science's expert writers and editors search for answers to these questions and keep you tuned in to the wildest developments in machine learning with the latest AI news, articles and features.

AI models could devour all of the internet’s written knowledge by 2026
A new estimate suggests that AI could use up all of the internet’s text data within the next few years. The next recourse could be private information, a new study warns.
'Reverse Turing test' asks AI agents to spot a human imposter — you'll never guess how they figure it out
Four AI models uncovered a human interloper in a startling viral video. But what can it teach us about intelligence?
32 times artificial intelligence got it catastrophically wrong
From chatbots giving truly terrible medical advice to facial recognition software incorrectly flagging members of congress as criminals, here are some of the most catastrophic mistakes artificial intelligence has ever made.
GPT-4 has passed the Turing test, researchers claim
Most people couldn't distinguish ChatGPT from a human responder, suggesting the famous Turing test has been passed for the first time.
Noise-canceling headphones can use AI to 'lock on' to somebody when they speak and drown out all other noises
Using only a small embeddable computer, microphone-equipped consumer headphones can block out all environmental sounds apart from a single target voice — even if it moves around.
GPT-4 didn't ace the bar exam after all, MIT research suggests — it didn't even break the 70th percentile
Last year, claims that OpenAI's GPT-4 model beat 90% of trainee lawyers on the bar exam generated a flurry of media hype. But these claims were likely overstated, a new study suggests.
