Carbon Neutral Regulation in AI Training

  • In 2019, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the subject of a targeted and pretty low-tech deepfake-style attack, when real video of her was edited to make her appear drunk – an unreal incident that was shared several million times before the truth about it came out (and, potentially, after some stubborn damage […]

  • Imagine a coffee company trying to optimize its supply chain. The company sources beans from three suppliers, roasts them at two facilities into either dark or light coffee, and then ships the roasted coffee to three retail locations. The suppliers have different fixed capacity, and roasting costs and shipping costs vary from place to place. […]

  • In a bold move to reimagine the future of independent insurance, Equal Parts has officially launched with $10 million in acquisition capital, backed by Equal Ventures and Max Ventures.

  • Me, a climate activist? That feels hard to claim. And yet, if someone were to read the book of my life, I think they would find a climate story.  It started with many moments. Seeds planted over time. Hot summer days at Spring Brook Nature Center, the sensation of cool water and earth seeping into […]

  • The greatest barrier to AI adoption isn’t technology—it’s education. While organizations scramble to implement the latest large language models (LLMs) and generative AI tools, a profound gap is emerging between our technological capabilities and our workforce’s ability to effectively leverage them. This isn’t just about technical training; it’s about reimagining learning in the AI era. […]

  • Our furry companions bring endless joy into our lives, but have you ever considered their environmental impact? From plastic waste to carbon-heavy pet food production, the pet industry leaves a substantial footprint. The good news? You don’t have to choose between loving your pet and loving the planet. Small, mindful changes in how you care […]

  • Retreating glaciers created 2,500km of “new” coastline and 35 “new” islands in the Arctic between 2000 and 2020, according to a new study. The research uses satellite images of more than 1,700 glaciers in Greenland, Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, Russian Arctic, Iceland and Svalbard.  The findings show that 85% of these glaciers retreated over 2000-20, […]

  • Ayar Labs has unveiled the industry’s first Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) optical interconnect chiplet, designed specifically to maximize AI infrastructure performance and efficiency while reducing latency and power consumption for large-scale AI workloads. This breakthrough will help address the increasing demands of advanced computing architectures, especially as AI systems continue to scale. By incorporating […]

  • While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) can be useful aides in interpreting some of the more arcane or challenging submissions in computer vision literature, there’s one area where they are hamstrung: determining the merits and subjective quality of any video examples that accompany new papers*. This is a critical aspect of a submission, since scientific papers […]

  • Pattie Maes, the Germeshausen Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT and head of the Fluid Interfaces research group within the MIT Media Lab, has been awarded the 2025 ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. She will accept the award at CHI 2025 in Yokohama, Japan this April. The Lifetime Research Award is given to individuals whose research […]

  • In 2024, 15 AI technology companies were hit by regulators for exaggerating their products’ capabilities, and that number has more than doubled from 2023. AI-related filings are on the rise and tech companies could be caught in the crossfire if they don’t understand emerging regulations and how to avoid them. What’s Wrong with AI Marketing Today? While […]

  • In a major leap forward for productivity software, Sourcetable has announced a $4.3 million seed round and the launch of what it calls the world’s first autonomous, AI-powered spreadsheet — a “self-driving” experience that reimagines how humans interact with data. With backing from top investors including Bee Partners, Julien Chaumond (Hugging Face), Preston-Werner Ventures (GitHub co-founder), […]

  • Image has conceptual relevance to the article (in our view), but does not depict any actual assembly or equipment. A new approach to generating hydrogen from solar energy represents a significant milestone in sustainable energy technology, say the researchers behind it, from Imperial College London and Queen Mary University of London. Published in Nature Energy, […]

  • COP16 talks featured an extended session in Rome in February, where negotiators sought to address a $942 billion shortfall in the funds believed to be required to protect and restore nature. By Samantha Willis, Biodiversity Consultant at Ramboll In a significant step towards global nature recovery, bridging the Nature-Finance gap was at the heart of […]

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an approach to building AI systems that combines a language model with an external knowledge source. In simple terms, the AI first searches for relevant documents (like articles or webpages) related to a user’s query, and then uses those documents to generate a more accurate answer. This method has been celebrated […]

  • Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in solar power systems pose potential risks to grid security, stability and availability, according to a new study The SUN:DOWN research – conducted by Forescout Research, a specialist in cybersecurity – investigated different implementations of solar power generation. “Our findings show an insecure ecosystem — with dangerous energy and national security implications,” says […]
