But AI is not very good with videos – and that’s because they can’t keep track of time. Engineers from the University of Michigan tackled this problem by imitating the human brain!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can create incredible images just from short, text-based prompts. AI’s ability to create imaginative pictures is perfect for the fiction story in each issue of Double Helix. So, we are carefully using an AI called Midjourney to generate these illustrations.
