AI models are increasingly solving mathematical problems that have occupied human researchers for decades. What does this mean for mathematics? Fields Medallist Alessio Figalli reflects on the implications and, together with 24 other leading mathematicians, warns of emerging pitfalls in the use of AI.
For ecosystems, a forest fire does not end where the flames stop. A new study shows that the smoke reduces bird diversity even outside the areas that actually burned. This ensuing effect becomes apparent in the following breeding season.
ETH Zurich computer scientists are turning theoretical breakthroughs into practical software capable of solving network problems that were previously beyond reach. Led by Rasmus Kyng, they have dramatically accelerated the analysis of vast networks by harnessing carefully designed randomness.
