Big Tech Says Generative AI Will Save the Planet. It Doesn't Offer Much Proof
Big Tech Says Generative AI Will Save the Planet. A new report finds that of 154 specific claims about how AI will benefit the climate, just a quarter cited academic research. A third included no evidence at all. A few years ago, Ketan Joshi read a statistic about artificial intelligence and climate change that caught his eye. In late 2023, Google began claiming that AI could help cut global greenhouse gas emissions by between 5 and 10 percent by 2030.
Federal court rules that OpenAI must stop using the term 'Cameo'
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 is Feb. 25 Valve's Steam Machine: Everything we know Federal court rules that OpenAI must stop using the term'Cameo' The company's video generator Sora offered a feature bearing the name. Cameo, the platform where celebrities sell short, personalized videos, has scored a in a trademark against OpenAI. A California judge has ruled that the AI company's video generation tool cannot use the term'cameo' or any variation likely to cause confusion. A temporary restraining order in the case was in November of last year. The suit was in response to a feature available within the at launch called'Cameo' that allowed users to add any likeness to videos they generated.
Robot, make me a chair
"Robot, make me a chair" Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools incorporate such a high level of detail they don't lend themselves to brainstorming or rapid prototyping. In an effort to make design faster and more accessible for non-experts, researchers from MIT and elsewhere developed an AI-driven robotic assembly system that allows people to build physical objects by simply describing them in words. Their system uses a generative AI model to build a 3D representation of an object's geometry based on the user's prompt. Then, a second generative AI model reasons about the desired object and figures out where different components should go, according to the object's function and geometry.
