How AI Can Facilitate the Energy Transition Without Standing in the Way

According to ChatGPT, the energy consumed by artificial-intelligence (AI) systems varies depending on their usage and complexity. Generally, these systems need huge amounts of electricity to efficiently process and analyze data. Estimates show that for this response generated by the chatbot, almost 10 times the electricity a Google search needs was used. With 100 million ChatGPT users weekly, the extra demand for energy has increased greatly. Keep in mind that this applies to users on this platform alone. The increased demand for energy in this industry, primarily driven by the construction and running of data centers that operate and train…

AI Approach Accelerates Speed of Predicting the Thermal Properties of Materials

Estimates show that roughly 70% of energy generated around the globe is wasted. Experts believe that more efficient systems to generate power could be designed if researchers were able to forecast how heat passes through insulators and semiconductors. This is hard to do at the moment, however, because it is challenging to model the thermal properties of different materials. The issue stems from subatomic particles that carry heat, known as phonons. A group of MIT researchers have designed a new framework based on machine-learning, which can forecast phonon dispersion relation about 1,000 times faster than other methods based on artificial…

Despite Developers Pushing for AI to Give Medical Advice, Accuracy Remains Questionable

This past spring, Google rolled out a feature that enabled answers from its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to begin appearing above normal search results, even for questions related to health issues. While this might seem like a good idea on paper, some concerns have been raised about the health advice provided by this AI overview feature. About a week after the bot’s launch, a quick search saw Google AI recommend that individuals eat at least a small rock daily for minerals and vitamins. It was later determined that this answer was retrieved from a satirical post. Another user revealed that…

AI Boom Expected to Swell Orders Received by ASML

ASML, the leading equipment supplier of lithography machines needed for the manufacture of semiconductors, is set to record a significant increase in its orders after its second-quarter results are announced. This comes as the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips continues to increase. Lithography machines are tools that use lasers to create the circuitry of computer chips. ASML is the only manufacturer of lithography systems using extreme ultraviolet wavelengths to manufacture chips for artificial intelligence and smartphones. Kevin Wang, a Mihuzo analyst, expects that ASML’s new orders will be valued at close to five billion euros ($5.5 billion) in the…

MIT Scientists Unveil Gen-AI Targeting Databases

Researchers at MIT have developed a new tool that enables database users to easily carry out statistical analyses of tabular data. The tool, GenSQL, is a generative artificial intelligence system for databases. It has been designed to assist users in detecting anomalies, making forecasts, fixing errors, generating synthetic data or guessing mission values. For example, if the system analyzed medical data from an individual who has been diagnosed with hypertension, it may catch a reading that is low for the individual but would otherwise be considered normal. The tool has been designed to automatically integrate a generative probabilistic artificial intelligence…

Could AI Help Governments Deliver Better Service Quality?

Prior to the roll out of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, governments were focused on suing chatbots to automate their advice and services. In the beginning, chatbots had limited conversational abilities and were simpler. However, the emergence of generative artificial intelligence has seen governments offer more efficient public service with people-like advisors who can work 24/7 answering queries on taxes, benefits and other areas where the public and the government interact. In theory, properly trained gen-AI may be able to hack all sorts of queries on government services. In practice, however, this may not be entirely accurate…
