Through the looking glass: Artificial intelligence tools are seeping into daily work, but some jobs are feeling the impact far more than others. A Microsoft study analyzing hundreds of thousands of anonymized Bing Copilot conversations offers a clearer, more grounded view of where AI is already reshaping tasks – and where its influence stops short.

Watch a Reconstructed 250-Year-Old Robotic Painting Bring a Fiery Mount Vesuvius Back to Life

Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to the court of Naples and Sicily from 1765 to 1800, as well as a passionate volcanologist. During his time in Italy he must have seen Mount Vesuvius erupt a number of times—certainly enough to leave a lasting impression. So much so that in 1775 he designed a rotating device that, with mechanical movement and light, could bring to life the fiery magma depicted in Pietro Fabris’ 1771 watercolor, “Night view of a current of lava.” While experts aren

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to ward off critics of his approach to autonomous driving.
