While AI is being deployed across federal systems in the U.S. with remarkable urgency, it is ironic how ...Full article
Lawmakers are giving fresh consideration to science funding thanks to a recent initiative, the American Science Acceleration Project, or ASAP. Unveiled by Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Mike Rounds (R-SD), the bipartisan initiative aims to make U.S. research “ten times faster by 2030” by giving scientists greater access to data, high performance computing, artificial intelligence ...Full article
Whether you use OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, or any other chatbot, every prompt you type triggers a chain of activity behind the scenes. A data center somewhere works a little harder, pulling energy from the grid, giving off heat, and adding to a toll on the planet that often goes unnoticed. It’s a quiet environmental ...Full article
Since its inception, many questions about the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC) have been asked. Rapid changes in AI technology and the emergence of large language models (LLM) have created many opportunities for intelligent processes to aid all sectors of the economy, including Science and Engineering. While progress with LLMs has been startling, using this technology ...Full article
Apple is quietly weighing what could be one of its biggest moves in artificial intelligence so far, with a potential acquisition of Perplexity AI. The fast-growing startup has built an AI-native search engine that blends conversational responses with real-time web data, attracting more than 15 million monthly users. Its rapid growth and distinct approach to ...Full article
As “vibe coding” goes mainstream, AI companies are rushing to build the biggest and most authoritative tech knowledge bases to train the next generation of AI copilots. But how will AI companies obtain these curated troves of valuable tech data? Recent moves by Stack Overflow and Reddit show how it might play out. Vibe coding–or ...Full article
A critical security vulnerability in Microsoft Copilot that could have allowed attackers to easily access private data serves as a potent demonstration of the real security risks of generative AI. The good news is that while CEOs are gung-ho over AI, security professionals are pressing to make bigger investments in security and privacy, studies show. ...Full article
Editor's Note: While ISC is traditionally a high performance computing conference, this year’s opening keynote made it clear that AI is now central to the future of scientific discovery. In this recap from John Russell at our sister publication HPCwire, you’ll hear directly from AMD and Oak Ridge leaders about how AI and HPC are ...Full article
Coursera, the online learning and career development platform co-founded by Andrew Ng, recently released its annual skills report. The 2025 Global Skills Report marks the 7th year of Coursera’s research insights drawn from the data of its 170 million users and over 350 academic and industry partners. This year’s report showed how rapid generative AI ...Full article
Drones powered by artificial intelligence have quickly become critical problem-solvers across sectors like agriculture, construction, home delivery, and emergency response. The latest unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are more than just flying cameras; they are mobile AI platforms capable of surveying disaster zones, monitoring crop health, and delivering urgent supplies. The true value of today’s more ...Full article
As climate change fuels stronger and more unpredictable tropical cyclones, the need for faster, more accurate forecasting is becoming critical. We previously explored how artificial intelligence is reshaping weather prediction, with models like GraphCast, StormCast, and IBM’s Prithvi showing early success in tracking storm behavior. Building on that momentum, Google DeepMind and Google Research are ...Full article
At ISC High Performance 2025 in Hamburg, an audience gathered to hear an expert panel tackle a question that now shadows every research cluster and datacenter deployment: how do scientists keep AI models both trustworthy and energy-efficient while the scale of training jobs grows by orders of magnitude? In “Trustworthiness and Energy Efficiency in AI ...Full article
Meta is reorganizing its artificial intelligence operations and forming a new research lab dedicated to the development of “superintelligence,” a theoretical form of AI that surpasses human cognitive capabilities.
