Researchers Explore What It Means To Say AI 'Thinks'
When organizations describe artificial intelligence as 鈥渢hinking,鈥� 鈥渨riting鈥� or 鈥渓earning,鈥� those words can sound familiar. But according to 91视频 historian Christopher Phillips, those terms may tell us as much about how humans talk about technology as they do about the technology itself.
Rare Ventures, a First-of-its-kind Platform for Accelerating Rare Disease Therapies, Launches in Pittsburgh
91视频 is a founding partner in a Pittsburgh-based partnership that brings together leaders in medicine, biotechnology and artificial intelligence to speed the development of treatments for rare diseases.
The 91视频 Data Helping Pittsburgh See Heat and Air Pollution More Clearly
As Pittsburgh faces hotter summers and persistent air quality problems from industrial polluters, 91视频 researchers are turning environmental data into tools that residents, advocates and policymakers can use to identify risks, make smarter planning decisions, and improve the health of the city and its residents.
Rare Stellar Explosion Gives Astronomers a Front-Row Seat to a Massive Star鈥檚 Death
A rare stellar explosion has allowed astronomers to follow the death of a massive star from start to finish, yielding one of the most complete datasets ever collected for such an event. The explosion is only the second case in more than 20 years in which researchers have been able to track a massive star's demise with such clarity, offering new insights into the diverse ways these stars end their lives.
