Jan 24, 2012 · MIT students' works redefine human-AI collaboration. Projects from MIT course 4.043/4.044 (Interaction Intelligence) were presented at NeurIPS, showing how AI transforms creativity, education, and interaction in unexpected ways. January 29, 2025. Read full story →
Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
Jan 17, 2025 · Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications. Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds. New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors.
What do we know about the economics of AI? - MIT News
Dec 6, 2024 · By contrast, in one paper, “The Simple Macroeconomics of AI,” published in the August issue of Economic Policy, Acemoglu estimates that over the next decade, AI will produce a “modest increase” in GDP between 1.1 to 1.6 percent over the next 10 years, with a roughly 0.05 percent annual gain in productivity.
New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding
Nov 25, 2024 · The AI-only method, in contrast, generated images of flooding in places where flooding is not physically possible. The team’s method is a proof-of-concept, meant to demonstrate a case in which generative AI models can generate realistic, trustworthy content when paired with a physics-based model.
AI simulation gives people a glimpse of their potential future self
Oct 1, 2024 · The AI system uses this information to create what the researchers call “future self memories” which provide a backstory the model pulls from when interacting with the user. For instance, the chatbot could talk about the highlights of someone’s future career or answer questions about how the user overcame a particular challenge.
Q&A: The climate impact of generative AI - MIT News
Jan 13, 2025 · A: Generative AI uses machine learning (ML) to create new content, like images and text, based on data that is inputted into the ML system. At the LLSC we design and build some of the largest academic computing platforms in the world, and over the past few years we've seen an explosion in the number of projects that need access to high ...
Explained: Generative AI | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of …
Nov 9, 2023 · Before the generative AI boom of the past few years, when people talked about AI, typically they were talking about machine-learning models that can learn to make a prediction based on data. For instance, such models are trained, using millions of examples, to predict whether a certain X-ray shows signs of a tumor or if a particular borrower is ...
