Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all
Instead of depressing wages or taking jobs, generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have had almost no wage or labor impact so far – a finding that calls into question the huge capital expenditures required to create and run AI models. In a working paper released earlier this month, economists Anders Humlum and…
Google AI Unveils 601 Real-World Generative AI Use Cases Across Industries
Google Cloud has just released an extraordinary compendium of 601 real-world generative AI (GenAI) use cases from some of the world’s top organizations — a major leap from the 101 use cases it shared just a year ago at Google Cloud Next 2024. This sixfold expansion showcases the explosive pace at which GenAI technologies are…
Evaluating social and ethical risks from generative AI
Introducing a context-based framework for comprehensively evaluating the social and ethical risks of AI systems Generative AI systems are already being used to write books, create graphic designs, assist medical practitioners, and are becoming increasingly capable. Ensuring these systems are developed and deployed responsibly requires carefully evaluating the potential ethical and social risks they may…
Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium
From crafting complex code to revolutionizing the hiring process, generative artificial intelligence is reshaping industries faster than ever before — pushing the boundaries of creativity, productivity, and collaboration across countless domains. Enter the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium, a collaboration between industry leaders and MIT’s top minds. As MIT President Sally Kornbluth highlighted last year, the…
With generative AI, MIT chemists quickly calculate 3D genomic structures
Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different from a skin cell, are partly determined by the three-dimensional structure of the genetic material, which controls the accessibility of each gene….
Mapping the misuse of generative AI
Responsibility & Safety Published 2 August 2024 Authors Nahema Marchal and Rachel Xu New research analyzes the misuse of multimodal generative AI today, in order to help build safer and more responsible technologies Generative artificial intelligence (AI) models that can produce image, text, audio, video and more are enabling a new era of creativity and…
Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact
In a two-part series, MIT News explores the environmental implications of generative AI. In this article, we look at why this technology is so resource-intensive. A second piece will investigate what experts are doing to reduce genAI’s carbon footprint and other impacts. The excitement surrounding potential benefits of generative AI, from improving worker productivity to advancing scientific…
How to Make Productive Use of Generative AI Chatbots and Artbots | Computer Hardware
Artificial intelligence dominates the tech news these days, but it’s hard to separate the hype from the reality. Every large company seems to have some major AI initiative in the works. Even Apple, which tends to stick to its own path, has started to tout features previously described as relying on “machine learning” as being…
