Explainable AI Essential for Nuclear Nonproliferation, National Security

We've all met people so smart and informed that we don't understand what they're talking about. The investment advisor discussing derivatives, the physician elaborating about B cells and T cells, the auto mechanic talking about today's computerized engines--we trust their decisions, even though we do not completely grasp the meaning of their words.

Understanding Shape Shifting Could Help Design Underwater Robots

If you've ever watched Planet Earth, you know the ocean is a wild place to live. The water is teaming with different ecosystems and organisms varying in complexity from an erudite octopus to a sea star. Unexpectedly, it is the sea star, a simple organism characterized by a decentralized nervous system, that offers insights into advanced adaptation to hydrodynamic forces--the forces created by water pressure and flow.
