黑料吃瓜资源鈥檚 (CSHL鈥檚) Cocktails & Chromosomes event series made its triumphant return on June 29. Dozens gathered at bar in Huntington, New York, to hear CSHL NeuroAI Scholar Kyle Daruwalla talk about the current state of AI research. In addition to discussing revolutionary new platforms like ChatGPT, Daruwalla went into some of his own work at CSHL, which focuses on making AI more energy efficient.
Why does that matter? Well, let鈥檚 think about those revolutionary new platforms. Bringing them online takes more than the simple flick of a switch. They need to be trained first. As Daruwalla explains, the process requires huge amounts of energy. And that means massive greenhouse gas emissions. Beyond AI鈥檚 carbon footprint, there鈥檚 also the important matter of access鈥攎aking it so this new technology can help everyone, not just a lucky few.
If you missed Daruwalla鈥檚 crowd-pleasing presentation, you can watch it in full above. And be sure to register early for the next installment of Cocktails & Chromosomes, with CSHL Professor David Jackson, Thursday, July 27.
