We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday.
Subtle shifts in how users described symptoms to AI chatbots led to dramatically different, sometimes dangerous medical advice.
Researchers used AI-driven virtual players to test more than 100 rule sets, matching gameplay to wear patterns on a Roman limestone board.
A new study finds that humans and AI spot different kinds of deepfakes — hinting at the need to team up to fight them.
The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping health and disease risk.
