In a groundbreaking experiment, the Agents4Science conference will feature papers entirely generated and peer-reviewed by AI agents. This sandbox event tests whether autonomous AI systems can conduct legitimate scientific research while providing crucial data on their limitations and potential. The October gathering forces academia to confront fundamental questions about AI's evolving role in knowledge creation.

A groundbreaking study using AI-powered 'brain clocks' shows that creative activities—especially complex ones like tango dancing—strengthen neural connections and significantly slow brain aging. Musicians, artists, and gamers also demonstrated younger-looking brains, with expertise correlating to greater anti-aging effects.

A new platform called Model Arena is positioning itself as a GitHub for AI models, enabling researchers and developers to compare, share, and evaluate machine learning models through standardized benchmarks. The initiative addresses critical gaps in reproducibility and model selection amid the AI explosion. This could fundamentally transform how the community validates and adopts state-of-the-art models.

Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder delivers a scathing critique of AI's overpromises, arguing that current systems like ChatGPT exhibit 'diminishing returns' despite massive resource consumption. Her analysis reveals fundamental limitations in large language models and questions whether the tech industry's AI gold rush is diverting resources from more meaningful innovation.

A new open-source book delivers comprehensive feature engineering guidance for both R and Python users, emphasizing reproducibility through modern dependency management. By integrating renv, Poetry, and Quarto, the project addresses a critical gap in cross-language ML resources while streamlining workflow consistency. This dual-language approach empowers data scientists to transcend tooling silos and focus on core feature transformation techniques.

A deep analysis of the PhD-level AI benchmark 'Humanity's Last Exam' reveals nearly 30% of its biology and chemistry answers conflict with peer-reviewed literature. Researchers attribute the errors to flawed incentives prioritizing questions 'impossible for frontier models' over scientific accuracy, prompting the release of a validated subset.
