Vijay Gadepally, a senior staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, leads a number of projects at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) to make computing platforms, and the artificial intelligence systems that run on them,

Kate Dargan Marquis of the Moore Foundation discusses spurring research and development to keep up with the growing impact of wildfires.

Agency decay, Bond erosion, Climate change, Divided society threatens our future. We can turn them into opportunities.

AI and other transformative technologies give us more power to shape the future than ever before. But as the saying goes, "with great power comes great responsibility." The choices we make today will determine whether this era becomes a force for progress—or deepens divides.

Each year, snake bites kill upwards of 100,000 people and permanently disable hundreds of thousands more, according to estimates from the World Health Organization. Promising new science, enabled by state-of-the-art technology, could help quell the threat.

President Joe Biden has signed an ambitious executive order on artificial intelligence that seeks to ensure the infrastructure needed for advanced AI operations like data centers can be built quickly and at scale in the United States.

Energy startups have overtaken the makers of electric cars and batteries as the top global climate tech investment for the first time since 2020. They’ve done so as the growing demand for artificial intelligence has driven interest in technologies that can power data centers with less emissions.

Combining human efforts, nature, and AI in what Afeyan calls “polyintelligence” could solve some of the biggest challenges in the world, like climate change or cancer, he wrote. “We know ...
