What is artificial intelligence?
A machine-learning system has been able to detect salt stains in images and calculate the chemical composition of them. Researchers at the University of South Carolina said it was able to extract compositions from pictures alone. “We were surprised at how well our method was able to cut through this and extract compositions from photos…

Now researchers must tame it in order to change science
Scientists have been asked about their views on the rise of Artificial Intelligence in science, including machine-learning and generative tools. One researcher wrote that it felt like he had copied the bad writing habits of humans. Johannes Niskanen, a physicist at the University of Finland, said science will move from ‘for humans by humans’ to…

Plants are stressed and some animals can hear them
A Tel Aviv University team has developed a machine- learning model that can detect the sounds of plants. The machine-learned model is 70% accurate in determining whether a plant was cut or stressed by water. It could be used to monitor drought and water quality in farming and horticulture, the researchers said.
