Ebola surge, AI math shocker and daylight saving time
In this week’s news roundup, we take a look at what’s happening with the Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa. Later SciAm editorial fellow Peter Hall joins host Rachel Feltman to discuss recent claims by OpenAI and Anthropic that their models have solved some of the world’s toughest math and physics problems. Plus, we dive into new research that suggests making daylight saving time permanent could put schoolchildren at risk.
