Researchers tracked the brain’s dopamine reward system and found – for the first time – this system flexibly retunes toward the most important goal when faced with multiple competing needs.
A new artificial intelligence tool developed by Cornell researchers promises to help speed up searches for novel metastable materials with unique properties in fields such as renewable energy and microelectronics.
Cornell Bowers CIS is hosting a weekly conversation on Fridays about the future of AI, which will include top industry leaders and groundbreaking researchers who are building the technology and examining its societal, legal, and ethical impacts.
Researchers trust international and scientific groups the most, and militaries, Chinese tech companies and Facebook the least, to shape the development and use of AI in the public interest.
Three leading Cornell scholars discussed governmental, social and moral ramifications of artificial intelligence and the role that politics should play in its regulation.
Happiness can’t be bought, but nor does it depend mostly on one’s mindset, as many happiness surveys would suggest, according to a recent study by Cornell psychology researchers.
A piece of synthesizer history has been given an unexpected second life at Cornell, after eight months of meticulous and often confounding work by a group of synthesizer builders.
Using a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Peter McMahon, assistant professor of applied and engineering physics, aims to harness the power of photonics to build processors for neural networks that are more than 1,000 times more energy efficient.
Cornell computer scientists have developed a new framework to automatically draw “underground maps,” which accurately segment cities into areas with similar fashion sense and, thus, interests.
