Imagine this: You’ve spent hours perfecting a long video, only to wonder how you’re going to repurpose it for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts without spending even more time editing. Sound familiar? Did you know that 93% of businesses gain new customers through social videos, yet only 9% feel confident in their editing process? That’s […]

A team of scientists just found something that changes a lot of what we thought we knew about AI capabilities. Your models aren’t just processing information – they are developing sophisticated abilities that go way beyond their training. And to unlock these abilities, we need to change how we talk to them. The Concept Space […]

The growth of autonomous agents by foundation models (FMs) like Large Language Models (LLMs) has reform how we solve complex, multi-step problems. These agents perform tasks ranging from customer support to software engineering, navigating intricate workflows that combine reasoning, tool use, and memory. However, as these systems grow in capability and complexity, challenges in observability, reliability, […]

As artificial intelligence has become a vital tool for content creation, AI content detectors have also become an integral technology to adopt. Reports suggest that the AI content detector market size, at $25.13 billion in 2023, is expected to reach $255.74 billion by 2032. The following article examines how AI detectors work, their reliability, and […]
Brazil’s new climate pledge, launched at the COP29 climate summit in Baku, aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by as much as two-thirds by 2035 compared to 2005 levels. The new pledge makes Brazil one of the first countries to release its latest plan – known as a “nationally determined contribution” (NDC) – ahead of […]

A crowd gathered at the MIT Media Lab in September for a concert by musician Jordan Rudess and two collaborators. One of them, violinist and vocalist Camilla Bäckman, has performed with Rudess before. The other — an artificial intelligence model informally dubbed the jam_bot, which Rudess developed with an MIT team over the preceding several […]
As we round out day eight of COP29, I’m left feeling quite demoralized with the global community. While I have left most days loving the Indigenous representatives across the world and feeling that we can solve the issue of climate change if those in power are willing to listen and act, I am sitting in […]
I share the frustration already expressed in Jen Grey Eagle’s blog and Melody Arteaga’s interview with Ethan Vue about this morning’s youth engagement session hosted by NOAA. As an educator born and raised on a family farm in Iowa and as a first generation college student, I am acutely aware of how access to particular […]

For roboticists, one challenge towers above all others: generalization — the ability to create machines that can adapt to any environment or condition. Since the 1970s, the field has evolved from writing sophisticated programs to using deep learning, teaching robots to learn directly from human behavior. But a critical bottleneck remains: data quality. To improve, […]

For years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a tool crafted and refined by human hands, from data preparation to fine-tuning models. While powerful at specific tasks, today’s AIs rely heavily on human guidance and cannot adapt beyond its initial programming. This dependence limits AI’s ability to be flexible and adaptable, the qualities that are central […]
What will happen to the SEC’s March 2024 climate disclosure rule under the new federal administration? A paper published by Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI) seeks to contribute to the upcoming debates on this question. In their joint report, Shedding Light on Climate Risk […]

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into business is essential, especially for companies aiming to remain competitive. The business of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is no exception. AI is already transforming M&A processes by increasing efficiency, mitigating risks, and uncovering new opportunities. The high stakes challenges of M&A Dealmakers are required to manage information and […]

Ebb and flow hydroponics – if you have been in the growing business for some time, you must have come across the term or probably come across it on the internet It’s a go-to for a reason: effective and high-performance, simple and efficient, and in many cases optimal. Also, its accessibility for automation procedures is […]
Hello friends, how are you? How are we? Last week a student in the class I am teaching at Hamline University shared this website that tracks how the world’s countries’ actions are on track for meeting the Paris Agreement goal to keep temperatures within a 1.5℃ increase. It assigns each country, based on its actions, […]
China’s historical emissions within its borders have now caused more global warming than the 27 member states of the EU combined, according to new Carbon Brief analysis. The findings come amid fraught negotiations at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, where negotiators have been invoking the “principle of historical responsibility” in their discussions over who should pay […]
