Responding to the climate impact of generative AI
In part 2 of our two-part series on generative artificial intelligence’s environmental impacts, MIT News explores some of the ways experts are working to reduce the technology’s carbon footprint. The energy demands of generative AI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade. For instance, an April 2025 report from the International Energy Agency predicts that the global electricity demand from data centers, which house the computing infrastructure to train and deploy AI models, will more than double by […]

Understanding XGBoost: A Deep Dive into the Algorithm
Author(s): Utkarsh Mittal Originally published on Towards AI. Introduction XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) has become the go-to algorithm for winning machine learning competitions and solving real-world prediction problems. But what makes it so powerful? In this comprehensive tutorial, we’ll unpack the mathematical foundations and practical mechanisms that make XGBoost superior to traditional gradient boosting methods. This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of decision trees and machine learning concepts. We’ll walk through the algorithm step-by-step with visual examples […]

Creating AI that matters
When it comes to artificial intelligence, MIT and IBM were there at the beginning: laying foundational work and creating some of the first programs — AI predecessors — and theorizing how machine “intelligence” might come to be. Today, collaborations like the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, which launched eight years ago, are continuing to deliver expertise for the promise of tomorrow’s AI technology. This is critical for industries and the labor force that stand to benefit, particularly in the […]

Updated Beatles Documentary Is a Fresh Reminder of the Power of Cultural Globalization
Clark Packard Last week, Disney+ released a restored version of The Beatles Anthology, the landmark 1995 ABC eight-part documentary series that remains the closest thing to a definitive account of the band’s extraordinary journey. I binge-watched the updated Anthology over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which brought back memories of watching the original with my parents 30 years ago. Now I’m the parent, though my wife and four-year-old son were less enthusiastic about the marathon viewing sessions. Last year, I […]

It’s the Humidity: How International Researchers in Poland, Deep Learning and NVIDIA GPUs Could Change the Forecast
For more than a century, meteorologists have chased storms with chalkboards, equations, and now, supercomputers. But for all the progress, they still stumble over one deceptively simple ingredient: water vapor. Humidity is the invisible fuel for thunderstorms, flash floods, and hurricanes. It’s the difference between a passing sprinkle and a summer downpour that sends you sprinting for cover. And until now, satellites have struggled to capture it with the detail needed to warn us before skies crack open. […]
