AI knowledge is no longer optional for career growth, organizational leadership, and life. Yet, a growing information gap exists between those with the capabilities to leverage AI’s potential…

By the end of the trail, one of them had been pulled off the route with a bad knee and shuttled back to civilization. Another had picked up COVID somewhere along the way and was crossing rivers with a high fever for the final two days. He pushed through because at that point in the trail there…

Waymo has issued a software update to its fleet of nearly 4,000 vehicles to help them avoid flooded roads as part of a recall announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Tuesday. But the company hasn’t fully solved the problem of how its vehicles behave in these conditions.

Robotaxis using both Waymo’s…

Older adults who cut back on dietary fat or reduced the amount of animal-based protein they consumed showed signs of becoming biologically younger, according to new research from the University of Sydney. The study, published in Aging Cell, found that adults between the ages of 65 and 75 experienced reductions in their estimated ‘biological age’ after following specific diets for just four weeks. Researchers say the findings suggest dietary changes later in life may quickly improve markers linked to aging and overall health. The research was led by Dr. Caitlin Andrews from the University of Sydney’s School of Life and…
