Earlier this month, a bench of the Supreme Court presided over by the Chief Justice of India Surya Kant expressed concern about lawyers submitting petitions drafted with the assistance of AI tools that contain fabricated case citations. The CJI termed this practice alarming and “absolutely uncalled for.” The remark is significant because it not only highlights the perils of AI but also a deeper professional concern. The problem is not the use of AI per se. Used safely, AI can reduce routine work and act as an enabler for research. It is the uncritical reliance on AI-generated outputs, including case…

For almost two centuries, glass jars holding animals collected by Charles Darwin have remained sealed in museum stores. Any attempt to open them risked evaporation, contamination and irreversible damage to some of the world’s most historically important specimens.

Scientists from the Natural History Museum, working with researchers at the STFC Central Laser Facility under UK Research and Innovation, have identified the chemical fluids inside Darwin’s jars using a laser-based technique. The breakthrough offers rare insight into early scientific practice and marks a major advance in museum conservation…

In all the furore about artificial intelligence today, with its imperative, promise and potential, it is worth revisiting the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, when an artist and a scientist collaborated to explore the unknown. Shot in the late 1960s, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke’s script naturally reflected the moon-shot of the time, the space race, and the tantalising possibility of extra-terrestrial life. But its most chilling and unforgettable contribution to cinematic history, sci-fi and human life is portraying, starkly, the dystopian outcomes of AI. As the staggering reality of what we have wrought is now dawning upon us,…
