#AI might dominate chess, but it struggles with NYT Connections puzzles. A study by Stony Brook University 's Tuhin Chakrabarty found that even top-performing AI only solve 18% of games. Human players (novice & expert) outperform the AI. Read more: lnkd.in/eBbcJcU2 @AI_SBU

The first computer virus was created in the early 70s by Bob Thomas. It was a harmless program that displayed the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" & was not designed to cause harm, but it laid the groundwork for the evolution of malware. #computerscienceweek2024

Congratulations, Anshul - we're proud of you!

Did you know? The first high-level programming language was Fortran (short for "Formula Translation") and was developed in the 50's by IBM. #ComputerScienceWeek Stony Brook University AI-Institute SBU College of Engineering & Applied Sciences #CodingLife

In 2015, the deep learning #AI #AlphaGo defeated a world champion in "Go"—a game with more possible moves than atoms in the observable universe. This milestone showed AI's potential to tackle problems once thought too complex for machines. #MachineLearning #AIRevolution Stony Brook University AI-Institute
