AI is accelerating in terms of speed and capabilities, enabling it to do things only humans COULD DO, meaning convergence (SINGULARITY) is coming.

To enable more accurate estimation of connectivity, we propose a data-driven and theoretically grounded framework for optimally designing perturbation inputs, based on formulating the neural model as ...

This paper examines whether Chinese development finance is associated with faster progress toward Millennium Development Goal style targets in low- and middle-income countries. We combine AidData’s ...

What if staying alive depends on minimizing surprise? The Free Energy Principle suggests that feeling itself may be what that process is like from the inside.
