- Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors
- Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium
The MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium is a collaboration between MIT, founding member companies, and researchers across disciplines who aim to develop open-source generative AI solutions, accelerating innovations in education, research, and industry

A good example of Raghavan’s intention can be found in his exploration of the use AI in hiring Raghavan says, “It’s hard to argue that hiring practices historically have been particularly good or worth preserving, and tools that learn from historical data inherit all of the biases and mistakes that humans have made in the past ”
- “An AI future that honors dignity for everyone” - MIT News
AI will likely evolve through a cycle of inflated expectations, disillusionment, and eventual pragmatic inspiration ” Still, Vinson suggested there were substantial differences between AI and some of our earlier technological leaps — the industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, and the digital revolution, among others
- MIT researchers introduce generative AI for databases
Researchers from MIT and elsewhere developed an easy-to-use tool that enables someone to perform complicated statistical analyses on tabular data using just a few keystrokes Their method combines probabilistic AI models with the programming language SQL to provide faster and more accurate results than other methods
- Aligning AI with human values - MIT News
Senior Audrey Lorvo is researching AI safety, which seeks to ensure increasingly intelligent AI models are reliable and can benefit humanity The growing field focuses on technical challenges like robustness and AI alignment with human values, as well as societal concerns like transparency and accountability
- AI tool generates high-quality images faster than state-of-the-art . . .
A hybrid AI approach known as hybrid autoregressive transformer can generate realistic images with the same or better quality than state-of-the-art diffusion models, but that runs about nine times faster and uses fewer computational resources The new tool uses an autoregressive model to quickly capture the big picture and then a small diffusion model to refine the details of the image
