Open source AI models can play a vital role in promoting transparency, competition, and experimentation in AI. Two-thirds of recent foundation models were released openly, and popular repositories now boast over a million open models – spanning everything from robotics and climate prediction to text, image, and voice generation…
Mathematical engineering theories are useful in numerous ways, whether in providing fundamental relationships between the capabilities of emerging technologies and the resources they require; establishing fundamental benchmarks to evaluate new technologies on absolute scales, rather than only compared to previous technologies;…
The web PKI, which is used to secure TLS-based web communication (HTTPS), is one of the most frequently used network security systems, enabling billions of users to securely connect to the world wide web and prevent the theft of user credentials, protect the privacy of personal information, impede stealthy wiretapping, and…
Valerie Mueller received her Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland. She is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University (ASU).
Climate change is changing the characteristic of weather extremes and slow changing climatic trends (physical climate risk). These combined with rising concentration of people and assets in high-risk areas, aging infrastructure and various macroeconomic factors, are leading to growing financial impacts on people, businesses,…
We are at a transformational junction in computing, in the midst of an explosion in capabilities of foundational AI models that may soon match or exceed typical human abilities for a wide variety of cognitive tasks, a milestone often termed Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Achieving AGI (or even closely approaching it)…
