In a recent editorial published in Science, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer, Eric Horvitz, and researcher Robert West from the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL in Switzerland issue a stark warning about AI. They say the advancement of AI systems rapidly being woven into our everyday lives is beginning to outpace our understanding of them. At the same time, AI’s understanding of human behavior is expanding.In a recent editorial published in Science, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer, Eric Horvitz, and researcher Robert West from the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL in Switzerland issue a stark warning about AI.

In the last few years, the hype around artificial intelligence has become stratospheric. Riding a wave of venture capital, tech leaders promised us AI would revolutionize work, boost productivity and lead to incredible new breakthroughs. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, set a new record when it attained US$110 billion in investments several months ago—and its CEO, Sam Altman, recently claimed Australia could become a “data capital of the world.”In the last few years, the hype around artificial intelligence has become stratospheric.

If you shop on Google Flights, you get a quick comparison of different itineraries: One flight’s carbon emissions may be average, while another’s are 14% higher. But if you go shopping for a new laptop, you likely won’t find quick, comprehensible information on different models’ sustainability bona fides, despite the notable environmental impacts of producing and discarding electronics. In part, that’s because understanding a device’s emissions is difficult and time-consuming, even for experts.If you shop on Google Flights, you get a quick comparison of different itineraries: One flight’s carbon emissions may be average, while another’s are 14% higher.

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for faster and more energy-efficient ways to store and process information. A team led by the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has developed a new magnetic memory material that can be rewritten using laser light instead of electric current, a step that could help reduce power consumption in data centers and support future high-speed information systems.As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for faster and more energy-efficient ways to store and process information.
