• If there’s one thing that characterizes driving in any major city, it’s the constant stop-and-go as traffic lights change and as cars and trucks merge and separate and turn and park. This constant stopping and starting is extremely inefficient, driving up the amount of pollution, including greenhouse gases, that gets emitted per mile of driving.  […]

  • The United Arab Emirates has launched a nationwide initiative to make artificial intelligence (AI) a mandatory subject for all students from kindergarten through grade 12. Starting in the 2025–2026 academic year, every public school will integrate AI lessons into the core curriculum. (UAE officials have indicated the policy will apply across government schools, with private […]

  • Higher education is at a crossroads. Budgets are tightening. Student needs are growing more complex. And the pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes—graduation rates, job placement, lifelong value—has never been higher. As institutions grapple with these demands, artificial intelligence isn’t some futuristic buzzword anymore—it’s a practical, proven tool that’s helping colleges and universities rise to the […]

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest-growing industries, requiring a lot of power to run. Server hosting, training and storing information, among other essential tasks, contribute to this demand. Every query has a cost, and recent political moves are making things harder on the planet.  The Impact of the Trump Administration’s Executive Orders At […]

  • This post is part of a new Climate Law Blog series, 100 Days of Trump 2.0, in which the Sabin Center offers reflections on the first hundred days of President Trump’s second term across a variety of climate-related topics.

  • As companies increasingly migrate workloads to the cloud, managing associated costs has become a critical factor. Research indicates that approximately one-third of public cloud spending produces no useful work, with Gartner estimating this waste at 30% of global spending annually. Engineers need reliable performance while finance teams seek predictable expenses. However, both groups typically discover […]

  • Over the past few years, Large language models (LLMs) have drawn scrutiny for their potential misuse in offensive cybersecurity, particularly in generating software exploits. The recent trend towards ‘vibe coding’ (the casual use of language models to quickly develop code for a user, instead of explicitly teaching the user to code) has revived a concept […]

  • The artificial intelligence observability market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to reach $10.7 billion by 2033 with a compound annual growth rate of 22.5%. As AI adoption accelerates—with 78% of organizations now using AI in at least one business function, up from 55% just two years ago—effective monitoring has become mission-critical for ensuring reliability, transparency, […]

  • For many years, businesses have used Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert physical documents into digital formats, transforming the process of data entry. However, as businesses face more complex workflows, OCR’s limitations are becoming clear. It struggles to handle unstructured layouts, handwritten text, and embedded images, and it often fails to interpret the context or […]

  • There’s a special kind of energy that young entrepreneurs bring to the table, a rare combination of raw ambition and fearless creativity. Turning a big idea into a real, breathing business, though, requires more than hustle and hope. For a green startup, it’s a journey packed with lessons, late nights, and the kind of resilience […]

  • The development of physical AI systems, such as robots on factory floors and autonomous vehicles on the streets, relies heavily on large, high-quality datasets for training. However, collecting real-world data is costly, time-consuming, and often limited to a few major tech companies. NVIDIA’s Cosmos platform addresses this challenge by using advanced physics simulations to generate […]

  • Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a novel artificial intelligence model inspired by neural oscillations in the brain, with the goal of significantly advancing how machine learning algorithms handle long sequences of data. AI often struggles with analyzing complex information that unfolds over long periods of time, such as […]

  • AI is not new. Humans began researching AI in the 1940s, and computer scientists like John McCarthy opened our eyes to the possibilities of what this technology could achieve. What is relatively new, though, is the volume of hype. It feels exponential. ChatGPT was released in 2022 to great fanfare, and now DeepSeek and Qwen […]

This week Net-zero media storm NET-ZERO ATTACKED: The UK’s Labour government had to defend its net-zero policies after comments by former prime minister Tony Blair in a thinktank report sparked a frenzied media storm. Former Labour leader Blair said […]

  • Forests around the world are taking longer to recover from severe wildfires – potentially indicating forest decline, according to a new study.  The research, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, finds a “significant increase” in the severity of forest fires from 2001-10 to 2010-21 – especially in western North America, parts of Siberia and south-eastern […]
