Kids outlearn AI—and we still don’t know why. Teaching a computer human language requires an inhuman amount of data, yet children can master their mother tongue with far less. This raises questions for cognitive scientists and challenges the architects of AI models: how can children still outperform even the most linguistically sophisticated machines?
One researcher is reverse-engineering this process to create more data-efficient AI models—hoping to settle enduring questions about language and children’s developing minds.
In a new frontier, Roman Chiporukha co-owns SpaceVIP, which offers celestial experiences that mix culture, science, and purpose. The sky might no longer be the limit; it's now a market for those willing to pay $50 million each to join the first fully private mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
The backlash against AI data centers is growing ahead of the midterms in both parties, suggesting that as tech evolves, so too do its societal impacts.
