In our tech-dominated world, the term “AI” appears in discussions of just about every industry. Whether it’s automotive, cloud, social media, health care, or insurance, AI is having a major impact, and companies both big and small are making investments. What’s talked about less, however, are the technologies making our current use of AI feasible and paving the way for growth in the future. After all, AI isn’t easy, and it’s taking increasingly large neural network models and datasets to solve the latest problems like natural-language processing. Between 2012 and 2019, the growth of AI training capabilities increased by a factor of 300,000 as more complex problems were taken on...

Dr. Benjamin Harvey is living proof that there are almost no limits to AI’s versatility. He has used machine learning to investigate environmental problems, aid cancer research, and probe the damage caused by national security leaks. Last year, he took many of the lessons he’d learned and launched his own startup. He spoke with us about entrepreneurship, the importance of mentors, and how he stays energized by letting his passions guide his career choices. Titles:Founder and CEO, AI Squared, Inc. Senior Research Associate at Johns Hopkins University; Research Professor at Bowie State University; Research Professor at George Washington University...

Self-sabotage ruins any sort of confidence you already have, stopping you from going after what you want. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a strange sort of inner pull that is actively saying, “No, I can’t”, even though every other part of you is screaming, “Yes, I want it.” What’s going on? Are you destined for failure? Are you destined for failure? Are you on the wrong path? Should you just give up and start again with something entirely new and different? Can you learn how to be more confident and go for what you want? You are putting in the time based on what you’ve read about what it means to be confident and successful...

Deep beneath the waves there's a source of power quite unlike any other. To tap into it, Japanese engineers have constructed a true leviathan, a beast capable of withstanding the strongest of ocean currents to transform its flow into a virtually limitless supply of electricity. Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries – now known simply as IHI Corporation – has been tinkering with the technology for over a decade now, partnering with New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in 2017 to put their designs to the test...

For the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing Dean Dan Huttenlocher, bringing disciplines together is the best way to address challenges and opportunities posed by rapid advancements in computing. What does it mean to be human in an age where artificial intelligence agents make decisions that shape human actions? That’s a deep question with no easy answers, and it’s been on the mind of Dan Huttenlocher SM ’84, PhD ’88, dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, for the past few years. “Advances in AI are going to happen, but the destination that we get to with those advances is up to us, and...
