Carbon Neutral Regulation in AI Training

  • Healthcare AI startup Tennr has secured $37 million in a Series B funding round, just six months after its $18 million Series A. Led by Lightspeed Ventures, with participation from a16z and Foundation Capital, this latest round brings Tennr’s total funding to over $61 million. Tennr is using artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize how healthcare […]

  • Earlier this year, I took my first voice lesson. The first thing I was taught was how to breathe, and it turns out I have been breathing incorrectly my whole life.  When you are told to take a deep breath, you inhale — with your shoulders and chest. However, to properly fill your lungs, you […]

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our world incredibly, influencing industries like healthcare, finance, and retail. From recommending products online to diagnosing medical conditions, AI is everywhere. However, there is a growing problem of efficiency that researchers and developers are working hard to solve. As AI models become more complex, they demand more computational power, putting […]

  • Ryan Kolln is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Appen. Ryan brings over 20 years of global experience in technology and telecommunications, along with a deep understanding of Appen’s business and the AI industry. His professional career began as an engineer, with a focus on mobile network data engineering in Australia, Asia and […]

  • In a significant development that underscores the explosive growth of artificial intelligence technologies, Perplexity AI is reportedly in discussions to secure approximately $500 million in new funding. The potential investment round could catapult the AI search company’s valuation to $8 billion, marking a substantial increase from its previous valuation earlier this year. The timing of […]

  • Quantum computing, once a theoretical field, is now rapidly transforming into a groundbreaking technological frontier. At the heart of this revolution are Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) — the engines powering quantum computers. Unlike classical processors that rely on binary logic (bits representing 0s or 1s), QPUs leverage the unique properties of quantum mechanics to process […]

  • In recent years, universities have seen a growing need to address incidents ranging from minor violations to serious criminal activities. As the volume of video evidence generated from sources like campus surveillance, mobile phones, and body-worn cameras continues to rise, colleges face new challenges in managing and analyzing this data effectively. However, leveraging AI-powered digital […]

  • Sean Ren is is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Early Career Chair at the University of Southern California (USC). He leads the Intelligence and Knowledge Discovery (INK) Research Lab and holds roles in USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI), the USC NLP Group, and the USC Machine Learning Center. […]

  • The main stage at Circular Lighting Live 2024. The lighting sector is embracing verified data on its sustainability claims, including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). That was certainly one of the impressions conveyed by Circular Lighting Live 2024, held in London on 9 October. The conference and exhibition was reportedly packed with new information, initiatives and […]

  • Researchers at Durham University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a revolutionary robotic system that allows for continuous, long-term observation of honeybee colonies. The research, published in the journal Science Robotics, seemingly marks a significant advancement in the field of digitised behavioural research. The system, developed as part of the EU-funded ‘RoboRoyale’ project, enables […]

  • Despite their impressive capabilities, large language models are far from perfect. These artificial intelligence models sometimes “hallucinate” by generating incorrect or unsupported information in response to a query. Due to this hallucination problem, an LLM’s responses are often verified by human fact-checkers, especially if a model is deployed in a high-stakes setting like health care […]

  • Computer vision is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that studies how machines can interpret and understand visual information, such as images and videos .

  • Dolphins in the water of Sarasota Bay. A recent paper in PLOS One presents evidence of dolphin inhalation of microplastics. An interview has been published with two of the authors, Leslie B. Hart (College of Charleston, USA) and Miranda K. Dziobak (College of Charleston; University of South Carolina, USA) which is reproduced here (credit: Molly […]

  • The lack of air-quality monitoring capabilities across the US affects the health of millions of people and disproportionately impacts minority and low socioeconomic-status communities, say researchers in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters. Motivated by a new US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for air pollution, the team employed a model for fine-scale air pollution […]

  • A decline in the area burned globally by wildfires over the 20th century due to land-use change has almost entirely been offset by the increase caused by global warming, a new study says. The paper, published in Nature Climate Change, is the first attribution study to assess the impacts of climate change and land-use change […]

  • Have you ever left a video call wondering how your tone came across or how others really felt about the conversation? Imagine if you could instantly understand what was said and the emotions behind it! I recently came across Read AI, an AI meeting assistant designed to analyze emotions in real-time during video calls. Research […]

  • Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are tools that help organizations optimize their development processes. As companies grapple with the complexities of cloud-native architectures, microservices, and the need for rapid deployment, IDPs offer a solution that streamlines workflows, automates repetitive tasks, and empowers developers to focus on what they do best – writing code.  This article explores […]

  • Today, the Sabin Center filed two amicus briefs—one on behalf of the National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and a second on behalf of experts in carbon capture and storage (CCS) science and technology—in support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in West Virginia v. EPA. Several states and industry […]
