How AI is Redrawing the World’s Electricity Maps: Insights from the IEA Report
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just transforming technology; it’s also significantly changing the global energy sector. According to the latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), AI’s rapid growth, particularly in data centers, is causing a significant rise in electricity demand. At the same time, AI also offers opportunities for the energy sector to…
MuZero, AlphaZero, and AlphaDev: Optimizing computer systems
As part of our aim to build increasingly capable and general artificial intelligence (AI) systems, we’re working to create AI tools with a broader understanding of the world. This can allow useful knowledge to be transferred between many different types of tasks. Using reinforcement learning, our AI systems AlphaZero and MuZero have achieved superhuman performance…
A faster way to solve complex planning problems
When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often from a different platform than the one at which they arrived. Engineers use software programs called algorithmic solvers to plan these movements, but at a…
SQL-R1: A Reinforcement Learning-based NL2SQL Model that Outperforms Larger Systems in Complex Queries with Transparent and Accurate SQL Generation
Natural language interface to databases is a growing focus within artificial intelligence, particularly because it allows users to interact with structured databases using plain human language. This area, often known as NL2SQL (Natural Language to SQL), is centered on transforming user-friendly queries into SQL commands that can be directly executed on databases. The objective is…
Is Your Data Storage Strategy AI-Ready?
The adoption of AI has caused an increased need for proper data governance, and companies are now under pressure to ensure data maturity. Globally, many companies are either using or exploring AI, with over 82% actively leveraging or considering AI for business operations. Yet, according to Gartner only 14% of cyber leaders can balance maximizing…
Exploring institutions for global AI governance
New white paper investigates models and functions of international institutions that could help manage opportunities and mitigate risks of advanced AI Growing awareness of the global impact of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) has inspired public discussions about the need for international governance structures to help manage opportunities and mitigate risks involved. Many discussions have drawn…
New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data
Data privacy comes with a cost. There are security techniques that protect sensitive user data, like customer addresses, from attackers who may attempt to extract them from AI models — but they often make those models less accurate. MIT researchers recently developed a framework, based on a new privacy metric called PAC Privacy, that could…
A Coding Implementation on Introduction to Weight Quantization: Key Aspect in Enhancing Efficiency in Deep Learning and LLMs
In today’s deep learning landscape, optimizing models for deployment in resource-constrained environments is more important than ever. Weight quantization addresses this need by reducing the precision of model parameters, typically from 32-bit floating point values to lower bit-width representations, thus yielding smaller models that can run faster on hardware with limited resources. This tutorial introduces…
