A new National Academies of Science report argues whose members include John Hennessy, the former president of Stanford and an advisor to Stanford HAI, that researchers must start projects with ethical review, working with stakeholders and experts from other fields.
In this podcast, Chris Potts, far left, professor and chair of the Department of Linguistics and Percy Liang who lead the Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM), discuss being 'weirded out' by GPT-3, unresolved questions in building best practices, and the future of CRFM.
The TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy Graduate Fellowships for Translational Research program awarded three Stanford Ph.D. students support to develop promising early-stage research on novel climate solutions.
In a new white paper, researchers at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, find that a growing number of companies are realizing the urgency of shifting their operations toward designing products for durability and recyclability, reducing material requirements, consuming fewer resources in manufacturing and shipping and keeping items in circulation to boost their lifespan.
The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability is designed to catalyze solutions to our most urgent environmental challenges. In addition to traditional academic departments, it includes expanded interdisciplinary research collaborations and a "sustainability accelerator" to drive policy and technology solutions.
Stanford University has a rich history as one of the pioneers in AI. In this video, Stanford Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) professors Fei-Fei Li, Chris Manning, and others describe the history of Stanford AI and the future of AI. Link
By bringing the benefits of mechanical systems into the extremely small scales of the quantum realm, Stanford researchers have demonstrated new capabilities by coupling tiny nanomechanical oscillators with a type of circuit that can store and process energy in the form of a qubit.
Researchers from Stanford and John Hopkins University are developing a new type of ultra-efficient material called "soft magnetic composite," or SMC, that can lead to miniaturized motors, power supplies and generators. Magnets are used in almost every step of electrical production but improving them has been a challenge. Link
Researchers at Stanford and the University of Mannheim report that reversible fuel cells can be an economically viable source of backup electricity during periods of surging prices.
