Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors
- Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium
The MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium is a collaboration between MIT, founding member companies, and researchers across disciplines who aim to develop open-source generative AI solutions, accelerating innovations in education, research, and industry
- MIT researchers introduce generative AI for databases
Researchers from MIT and elsewhere developed an easy-to-use tool that enables someone to perform complicated statistical analyses on tabular data using just a few keystrokes Their method combines probabilistic AI models with the programming language SQL to provide faster and more accurate results than other methods

A good example of Raghavan’s intention can be found in his exploration of the use AI in hiring Raghavan says, “It’s hard to argue that hiring practices historically have been particularly good or worth preserving, and tools that learn from historical data inherit all of the biases and mistakes that humans have made in the past ”
- Helping nonexperts build advanced generative AI models
Last year, that reasoning led to the acquisition of MosaicML by Databricks, a global data storage, analytics, and AI company that works with some of the largest organizations in the world Since the acquisition, the combined companies have released one of the highest performing open-source, general-purpose LLMs yet built

AI will likely evolve through a cycle of inflated expectations, disillusionment, and eventual pragmatic inspiration ” Still, Vinson suggested there were substantial differences between AI and some of our earlier technological leaps — the industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, and the digital revolution, among others

By contrast, in one paper, “The Simple Macroeconomics of AI,” published in the August issue of Economic Policy, Acemoglu estimates that over the next decade, AI will produce a “modest increase” in GDP between 1 1 to 1 6 percent over the next 10 years, with a roughly 0 05 percent annual gain in productivity
