The First Open Ocean Carbon Removal Project in the U.S. Just Got a Green Light

When visitors flock to the beach this summer in Duck, North Carolina, a small, 6-mile long town on the Outer Banks, they may catch a glimpse of a climate experiment happening among the waves.

About 1,500 feet offshore, a company called Vesta will be pouring 9,000 tons of sand into the sea and watching carefully to see what happens next. This finely crushed rock will not be of the typical Outer Banks variety. Instead, it will consist of a mineral called olivine, which should enhance the ocean’s

The startups betting on pulverized rocks for carbon removal

To many industry observers, “carbon removal” conjures visions of extreme feats of engineering: whirring fans that suck in air or wells built to inject carbon underground. But to some, the industry’s potential looks just like sand. Direct air capture is easily the buzziest carbon removal pathway, but it is far from the only one being explored. Forecasts suggest DAC plants will remove less than one gigaton of carbon from the air by 2050. By then, IPCC projections suggest the world may need to be r

Lost in translation: Cohere’s AI software wrote parts of this story. But is it ready for the world?

Before Aidan Gomez co-founded an artificial intelligence company, he worked as an intern at Google Brain in Toronto alongside Geoffrey Hinton, a luminary in the field of AI. Gomez was the kind of person, Hinton recalled, who had so many ideas that it was difficult to get him to focus on what he was supposed to be doing.

But Hinton noticed that Gomez was particularly interested in learning to translate languages. At that time, machine learning wasn’t advanced enough to be useful for translation,

Google Brain alum to helm new nonprofit AI research lab

Sara Hooker, research scientist at Google Brain, says she is a “little bit rogue” in the field of machine learning (ML).

Certainly she didn’t take a straight-and-narrow path to ML research. Growing up in Africa, she had planned to become an economist while attending college in Minnesota, but discovered engineering and ML while working as an analyst in the Bay Area and was immediately obsessed. A few years later, she had joined Google Brain and also volunteered with a Bay Area nonprofit she help

Startups competing with OpenAI must solve the same problems

Analysis Text-generating language models are difficult to control. These systems have no sense of morality: they can spew hate speech and misinformation. Despite this, numerous companies believe this kind of software is good enough to sell.

OpenAI launched its powerful GPT-3 to the masses in 2020; it also has an exclusive licensing deal with Microsoft. The upshot of this is that developers no longer have to be machine-learning gurus to create products that feature natural language processing. A

How analog AI hardware may one day reduce costs and carbon emissions

Could analog artificial intelligence (AI) hardware – rather than digital – tap fast, low-energy processing to solve machine learning’s rising costs and carbon footprint?

Researchers say yes: Logan Wright and Tatsuhiro Onodera, research scientists at NTT Research and Cornell University, envision a future where machine learning (ML) will be performed with novel physical hardware, such as those based on photonics or nanomechanics. These unconventional devices, they say, could be applied in both ed
