Buildings produce a large share of New York’s greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for reducing those emissions—has been hampered by missing data on how buildings currently use energy.Buildings produce a large share of New York’s greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for reducing those emissions—has been hampered by missing data on how buildings currently use energy.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]

Even if Elon Musk’s dream of robotaxis for everyone is a long way off, sleek electric cars powered by artificial intelligence packed the Consumer Electronics Show, promising to liberate people from the tedium of driving.Even if Elon Musk’s dream of robotaxis for everyone is a long way off, sleek electric cars powered by artificial intelligence packed the Consumer Electronics Show, promising to liberate people from the tedium of driving.Automotive[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just made up of data, chips and code—it’s also the product of the metaphors and narratives we use to talk about it. The way we represent this technology determines how the public imagination understands it and, by extension, how people design it, use it, and its impact on society at large.Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just made up of data, chips and code—it’s also the product of the metaphors and narratives we use to talk about it.

It’s a simple law of physics: When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter. Finding new ways to cool machines quickly and controllably can mean the difference between a functioning electrical grid and a blackout or a working data center and a widespread outage.It’s a simple law of physics: When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter.

Korea’s research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer. Researchers expect that AI-Native mobile networks, in which artificial intelligence autonomously controls and optimizes the communication system, could achieve transmission efficiencies up to 10 times higher than those of 5G.Korea’s research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer.

What is patient privacy for? The Hippocratic Oath, thought to be one of the earliest and most widely known medical ethics texts in the world, reads: “Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private.”What is patient privacy for?

Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok faced growing international backlash Monday for generating sexualized deepfakes of women and minors, with the European Union joining the condemnation and Britain warning of an investigation.Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok faced growing international backlash Monday for generating sexualized deepfakes of women and minors, with the European Union joining the condemnation and Britain warning of an investigation.Internet[#item_full_content]

Le Xie, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), wants to know how we can modernize the electric grid to support rapid electrification and the growing demands of AI infrastructure. His research at SEAS focuses on the intersection of power systems, artificial intelligence, and decarbonization. We spoke to him about his work and the challenges facing the electric grid today. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.Le Xie, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Harvard John A.
