It’s almost comical how surprised we are at the pitfalls of artificial intelligence (AI). After all, we’ve been making movies for decades warning against the dangerous potential of sentient machines.

The AI-generated algorithms are already being used by millions of developers. DeepMind’s run of discoveries in fundamental computer science continues. Last year the company used a version of its ...

In the field of computer science, there is perhaps no more fundamental task than to sort. Bubble, heap, merge—take your pick. The methods for reordering data inside a computer have been theorized to ...

Digital video coding integrates algorithmic techniques and standardised frameworks to reduce the volume of raw pixel data while preserving perceived visual quality. Most contemporary systems employ a ...

Google DeepMind today pulled the curtain back on AlphaEvolve, an artificial-intelligence agent that can invent brand-new computer algorithms — then put them straight to work inside the company's vast ...
