Intelligence isn’t solo: AI falls short on social, embodied cognition

Claims that AI will soon surpass human intelligence rest on comparing machines to isolated cognitive benchmarks. The authors argue human intelligence is social, embodied, and cumulative—emerging from language, cooperation, and culture—while AI remains narrow, data-biased, and lacking genuine understanding or shared intentionality. Seen this way, AI is a powerful tool, not a mind superior to humanity, and hype distracts from governance, bias, and labor implications.

MOSAIC harnesses collective AI to accelerate chemical synthesis and new reactions

Nature previews MOSAIC, a framework that pools millions of reaction protocols into 2,498 specialized chemical experts anchored in Voronoi-clustered spaces on Llama-3.1-8B-instruct, delivering reproducible, executable synthesis protocols with confidence metrics. In experimental tests, MOSAIC achieved a 71% success rate and enabled the synthesis of over 35 novel compounds across pharmaceuticals, materials, agrochemicals, and cosmetics, including new reaction methodologies not present in the training data.

"Surprising Collective Intelligence: Bees and Chimpanzees Learn Complex Behaviors Like Humans"

Bumblebees have demonstrated a level of collective intelligence in experiments that was previously thought to be unique to humans. They were trained to open a two-step puzzle box and then taught the solution to other bees, challenging the idea that socially learned behaviors are exclusive to humans. This finding suggests that the ability to learn from others what cannot be learned alone should now be considered a common trait across species, not just humans. The study was published in Nature and sheds light on the underestimated intelligence of bumblebees.
