Researchers at Stanford have developed a new phase-change memory - which relies on switching between high and low resistance states - an improved option for future AI and data-centric systems. Their scalable technology is fast, low-power, stable, long-lasting, and can be fabricated at temperature compatible with commercial manufacturing.
In this The Future of Everything podcast, Percy Liang, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Director, Stanford Center for Research on Foundation Models discusses how foundation models are built, how to evaluate them, and the growing concerns with lack of openness and transparency.
Researchers at Stanford University and the American University of Beirut have developed a portable antenna that could be quickly deployed in disaster-prone areas or used to set up communications in underdeveloped regions. Made of fiber composites, the antenna packs down to a small size and can shift to communicate either with satellites or devices on the ground without using additional power.
A collaboration between the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Education, will offer a program for chief sustainability officers (CSOs) that brings a unique combination of business skills and sustainabil
This opinion piece by NY Times economics writer, Peter Coy, about New York City's congestion pricing plan, includes Devansh Jalota, Ph.D. candidate in Marco Pavone's Autonomous System's Lab's research on redistributing the revenue raised by congestion pricing by refunding funds to reduce traffic congestion without worsening economic equity.
President Biden signed Executive Order 14110 on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence on October 30. Stanford HAI's AI Tracker follows and accesses the government's actions on AI.
Using cellphone data, Stanford researchers determined how often people of different socioeconomic statuses crossed paths. Their research shows people in big cities do not interact with others outside their own socioeconomic bracket, but locating public infrastructure between neighborhoods foster more socioeconomic mixing that will promote diversity.
Last year saw major advances in generative AI with major investments into AI startups and policymakers in both the U.S. and EU putting forth AI regulation. In this article, seven Stanford HAI faculty and fellows predict the biggest stories in artificial intelligence.
The Understand Energy Learning Hub website seeks to help anyone find answers on more than 30 energy topics. The Understand Energy Learning Hub helps people build their energy literacy or just be a quick source of needed information. The website shares content from Stanford's Understand Energy course.
