The emergence of “opensource” AI models: issues of transparency and accountability under scrutiny

In the rapidly advancing world of generative AI, the term "open source" has become widely used. Traditional open-source software refers to code freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute, fostering a sense of knowledge-sharing and collaborative innovation. However, in the sphere of AI, this definition can become blurred and problematic. Due to the…

An algorithm developed by MIT aids in predicting the occurrence of severe weather conditions.

Global climate models predict future weather conditions, but these models are limited in their ability to provide detailed forecasts for specific locations. Policymakers often need to supplement these coarse-scale models with high-resolution ones to predict local extreme weather events. However, the accuracy of these predictions heavily depends on the initial coarse model’s accuracy. Themistoklis Sapsis,…
