Artificial intelligence helps scientists engineer plants to fight climate change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that removing carbon from the atmosphere is now essential to fighting climate change and limiting global temperature rise. To support these efforts, Salk Institute scientists are harnessing plants' natural ability to draw carbon dioxide out of the air by optimizing their root systems to store more carbon for a longer period of time.

Air Force making gains in artificial intelligence with AI-piloted F-16 flight
The U.S. Air Force gamed a dogfight between a human-driven F-16 fighter jet and an artificial intelligence-controlled F-16 — with Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall riding in the front seat. The Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft, or VISTA, X-62A, previously broke a record in February 2023, when it flew for 17 hours straight — entirely […]
