Should Schools Rely on Government for Cyber Protection?
Can the federal government protect K-12 schools and their students from cyberattacks?
The phrase “free as the wind” may be accurate in the philosophical sense, but in the physical world, wind is not always free; it presents opportunities and costs. Accurately predicting the wind comes with real economic and humanitarian consequences, at both the macro- and micro-climate levels. Often, the causes and effects between large-scale and small-scale […]
Laureates Look Past the Hype in Generative AI
When ChatGPT was released less than a year ago, it seemed to mark a turning point for artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbot created by OpenAI made headlines due to its sophisticated and human-like text conversations made possible by generative AI—algorithms that learn patterns from the data on which they are trained to produce output with […]
Understanding what is taking place inside the human body is at the heart of medicine. For centuries, scientists have looked for better ways to detect problems, conditions, and diseases ranging from high blood pressure to cancer. An array of sensing devices—from thermometers and blood pressure cuffs to blood oximeters—have made it easier to monitor vital […]
