STEPHEN HAWKING

The announcement of the new space mission is the beginning of a venture that could take decades to come to fruition.

A group of over 150 scientists, including famed British cosmologist Stephen Hawking, have come out in support of the campaign for the U.K. to stay in the EU.

The aerospace company gave the spacecraft its debut after two years of extensive testing. Its predecessor broke into pieces during a test flight in 2014.

In order to encourage “landmark breakthroughs” in creation of artificially intelligent machines, IBM and the nonprofit XPrize announced Wednesday a $5 million competition for AI developers.

Human wit may have to compete against machine intelligence.

Hawking and Musk were among those identified by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation as members of a “loose coalition” of “AI alarmists.”

The acclaimed physicist has long advocated for the need to look to space for humanity's future.

Stephen Hawking and his colleagues offer a new answer to the question of what happens to information sucked in by black holes.

In a statement released Sunday, the Facebook founder unveiled a plan to build an artificially intelligent assistant.

The OpenAI nonprofit organization says it aims to advance artificial-intelligence research "to benefit humanity as a whole."

The universe provides plenty of inspiration for gifts.

Opinion is divided about the merits of trying to imbue machines with human-like learning capabilities.

During a lecture Tuesday, the famed British cosmologist put forward a new idea to resolve a long-standing conundrum -- the black hole "information paradox."

Tech celebrities warn against starting a military arms race with autonomous weaponry.

The famed British cosmologist will take questions from Redditors beginning Monday. He would then answer them over the next few weeks.

Russian billionaire and venture capitalist Yuri Milner on Monday pledged $100 million to fund the search for extraterrestrial life.

"We explore because we are human," Stephen Hawking said in a congratulatory message to the New Horizons team.

Musk, who has voiced caution against the development of Artificial Intelligence, has provided $7 million in funds.

The announcement comes amid a surge in interest in the Red Planet.

During his virtual appearance at Sydney's Opera House, Stephen Hawking said that mankind would not survive another 1,000 years on Earth.

The annual event commemorates what is considered the birth of the modern environmental movement.
