The University of Washington’s Allen School is tackling six “grand challenges” in computer science — from AI and education to ...

Daniel Lokshtanov’s work explores the limits of what computers can solve, paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence and computational efficiency.

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...

The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

In a world where machines can code, true intelligence lies in designing the logic that drives them. The future belongs to those who think independently, critically and algorithmically, not ...

Dijkstra's algorithm has long been the quickest way of finding the shortest possible paths in a network, but researchers have ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced ...

A scientific study disproves the idea that the universe is a computer simulation, proving reality cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly prevalent, integrated into phone apps, search engines and social media platforms ...
