Building a permanent base on the Moon sounds like an engineering problem. Design the habitat, sort the power supply, figure out life support, and you're most of the way there. But the engineers who've spent time thinking hard about this will tell you the real challenge isn't the hardware — it's the humans inside it. Now researchers have built a virtual Moon base and run tens of thousands of simul…

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help blind and visually impaired people make sense of the world around them – while also exposing where it falls short. The AI systems solve many tasks correctly, but they lack a built-in stop button when the evidence is too thin. In other words, they cannot reliably distinguish between knowledge and qualified guesswork – and often respond without signalling uncer…
