Study Finds AI Can Beat Average Human Creativity, but Not the Best
A new study comparing 100,000 people with top AI systems like GPT-4 finds that generative AI can now outscore the average person on creativity tests, but still cannot match the most creative human minds. Researchers say the future lies in collaboration, not competition.

AI Helps Scientists Publish More but Narrows Research Focus, Study Finds
A massive analysis of more than 41 million papers shows AI tools supercharge individual scientists’ productivity and impact, yet shrink the overall range of scientific questions being explored. Researchers say the next generation of AI must help create new data and directions, not just optimize what already exists.

Stanford AI Model Reads Sleep Data to Forecast Disease Risk
A new Stanford-developed AI model, SleepFM, turns a single night of lab-recorded sleep into a powerful early warning system for future disease. By learning the “language” of sleep, it can forecast risks for conditions ranging from heart disease to cancer.
