How AI can improve storm surge forecasts to help save lives

By Navid Tahvildari, Florida International University Hurricanes are America’s most destructive natural hazards, causing more deaths and property damage than any other type of disaster. Since 1980, these powerful tropical storms have done more than US$1.5 trillion in damage and killed more than 7,000 people. The No. 1 cause of the damages and deaths from […]

Rewarding explainability in drug repurposing with knowledge graphs

Drug repurposing often starts as a hypothesis: a known compound might help treat a disease beyond its original indication. A good example is minoxidil: initially prescribed for hypertension, it later proved useful against hair loss. Knowledge graphs are a natural place to look for such hypotheses because they encode biomedical entities (drugs, genes, phenotypes, diseases)

The great wildebeest migration, seen from space: satellites and AI are helping count Africa’s wildlife

By Isla C. Duporge, Princeton University The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most remarkable natural spectacles on Earth. Each year, immense herds of wildebeest, joined by zebras and gazelles, travel 800-1,000km between Tanzania and Kenya in search of fresh grazing after the rains. This vast, circular journey is the engine of the Serengeti-Mara

From the telegraph to AI, our communications systems have always had hidden environmental costs

Yutong Liu & Digit / Digital Nomads Across Time / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 By Jemimah Widdicombe, Museums Victoria Research Institute When we post to a group chat or talk to an AI chatbot, we don’t think about how these technologies came to be. We take it for granted we can instantly communicate. We only
