- Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
In this article, we look at why this technology is so resource-intensive A second piece will investigate what experts are doing to reduce genAI’s carbon footprint and other impacts The excitement surrounding potential benefits of generative AI, from improving worker productivity to advancing scientific research, is hard to ignore While the
- Here’s how technology has changed the world since 2000
Technology has changed major sectors over the past 20 years, including media, climate action and healthcare The World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary, gives us insight how emerging tech leaders have influenced and responded to these changes
- Explainer: What is quantum technology and what are its benefits?
Quantum technology is based on the principles of quantum mechanics These are the laws of physics that apply to sub-atomic particles, going back to the work of physicists including Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger in the 1920s Quantum technology is not new
- How technology convergence is redefining the future
The convergence isn’t always apparent at first glance Take spatial computing – the technology that helps machines understand and interact with physical space Spacial computing is impressive enough on its own, but when it converges with AI and robotics, we get machines that can navigate complex environments with human-like understanding
- Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium
At MIT, the technology has become a campus-wide priority, connecting researchers, students, and industry leaders to solve complex challenges and uncover new opportunities “It's truly an MIT initiative,” says Farias, “one that’s much larger than any individual or department on campus ”
- What do we know about the economics of AI? - MIT News
If technology helps generate economic growth, then fast-paced innovation might seem ideal, by delivering growth more quickly But in another paper, “ Regulating Transformative Technologies ,” from the September issue of American Economic Review: Insights , Acemoglu and MIT doctoral student Todd Lensman suggest an alternative outlook
- Exploring the impacts of technology on everyday citizens
The technology that enables diagnoses does not meet all our human needs, so the book traces the complicated inner lives of patients, and a medical system shifting to meet psychological and palliative-care challenges Technology and society interact beyond blockbuster products, as the book deftly implies
- Technology Convergence Report - The World Economic Forum
Written in collaboration with Capgemini, the Technology Convergence Report offers leaders a strategic lens – the 3C Framework – to help them navigate the combinatorial innovation era This framework highlights three critical phases: combination (the integration of distinct technologies), convergence (restructuring of value chains) and
