Ukraine is reportedly using drones equipped with artificial intelligence that can identify and attack targets without any human control, in the first battlefield use of autonomous weapons or "killer robots".

This is a terrifyingly important development as it could be the new type of warfare - without human oversight. Sound a little too much like the apocalyptic settings of the Terminator or Horizon Zero Dawn?

A 21-year-old computer-science student has won a global contest by developing a machine-learning algorithm to read the first text inside a carbonized scroll from the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, which had been unreadable since a volcanic eruption in AD 79 — the same one that buried nearby Pompeii.

The breakthrough could open up hundreds of texts from the only intact library to survive from Greco-Roman antiquity!

Polymathic AI treats numbers as real numbers and uses real scientific datasets as training data to leverage information from heterogeneous datasets and different scientific domains.

The goal is to develop a basic model that can then be refined for different domains and applications.
