Perplexity has introduced “Computer,” a new tool that allows users to assign tasks and see them carried out by a system that coordinates multiple agents running various models.

As universities increasingly adopt digital tools and automated analytics systems, attention often centers on these tools' gains in accuracy and efficiency. Far less visible, however, is another ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

Why Rangan supports her son to pursue Computer Science knowing the uncertainty of the tech world. Yamini Rangan knows better than most that the rules of tech are being rewritten in real time. She runs ...

Researchers from Chiba University have developed a lightweight peer-selection algorithm that significantly reduces data propagation delays without increasing resource usage on internet of things (IoT) ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

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.

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 ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

At M.I.T., a new program called “artificial intelligence and decision-making” is now the second-most-popular undergraduate major. By Natasha Singer Natasha Singer covers computer science and A.I.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...
