Will shifting weather patterns due to climate change cause more frequent energy outages? To answer this, it’s necessary to examine both regional climate predictions and local energy infrastructures, including new renewable sources, storage, transmission networks, and demand estimates. A scarcity of such analyses is why energy developers and grid operators often overlook climate change when…
Engineers frequently utilize vision-language models to craft new designs for items like airplane or automobile parts. To determine how these parts will behave in real-life scenarios, they rely on computer-aided design (CAD) software to create 3D models for virtual testing. Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a system that can train a vision-language…
Millions are now crafting their own AI companions, yet most lack understanding of how these creations will behave. MIT Media Lab’s Assistant Professor Pat Pataranutaporn and graduate students Anthony Baez and Sheer Karny have introduced “neural transparency,” a tool allowing users to see inside an AI’s neural network before interaction. This research is being presented…
