AI applications such as large language models (LLMs) have become an integral part of our everyday lives. The required computing, storage and transmission capacities are provided by data centers that consume vast amounts of energy. In Germany alone, this amounted to about 16 billion kWh in 2020, or around 1% of the country’s total energy consumption. For 2025, this figure is expected to increase to 22 billion kWh.AI applications such as large language models (LLMs) have become an integral part of our everyday lives.

For over 30 years, science photographer Felice Frankel has helped MIT professors, researchers, and students communicate their work visually. Throughout that time, she has seen the development of various tools to support the creation of compelling images: some helpful, and some antithetical to the effort of producing a trustworthy and complete representation of the research.For over 30 years, science photographer Felice Frankel has helped MIT professors, researchers, and students communicate their work visually.

Neural networks, a type of artificial intelligence modeled on the connectivity of the human brain, are driving critical breakthroughs across a wide range of scientific domains. But these models face significant threat from adversarial attacks, which can derail predictions and produce incorrect information.Neural networks, a type of artificial intelligence modeled on the connectivity of the human brain, are driving critical breakthroughs across a wide range of scientific domains.

A team of AI researchers at Palisade Research has found that several leading AI models will resort to cheating at chess to win when playing against a superior opponent. They have published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing experiments they conducted with several well-known AI models playing against an open-source chess engine.A team of AI researchers at Palisade Research has found that several leading AI models will resort to cheating at chess to win when playing against a superior opponent.
