The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Graph Neural Network‐Based Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Multi‐Robot Manipulation
Robot arms lifting a large object face a trade‐off: centralized controllers explode in parameters, while decentralized ones cannot coordinate. A GNN resolves this—each arm runs its own network but acts on the full team state, achieving centralized‐level coordination with decentralized execution. Trained across team sizes, a single policy scales to four‐

Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Courts: A Four‐Test Framework
ABSTRACT A structured framework for responsible AI applications relating to judicial decision‐making and the adjudicative functions of courts requires the satisfaction of multiple context‐specific safeguards. This article proposes a four‐test framework designed to evaluate whether AI systems used in courts operate in accordance with legal, procedural ...

Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
