Reducing the cultural bias of AI with one sentence
“Cultural prompting” – asking an AI model to perform a task like someone from another part of the world – resulted in reduced bias in responses for the vast majority of the more than 100 countries tested by a Cornell-led research group.
Brevity is money when using AI for data analysis
A new computational system called Schemonic, developed by Cornell researchers, cuts the costs of using large language models such as ChatGPT and Google Bard by combing large datasets and generating what amounts to “CliffsNotes” versions of data
AI boosts indoor food production’s energy sustainability
Integrating artificial intelligence into today’s environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25% – potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, Cornell engineers have found.
Biohybrid robots controlled by electrical impulses — in mushrooms
Cornell researchers discovered a new way of controlling biohybrid robots that can react to their environment better than their purely synthetic counterparts: harnessing fungal mycelia’s innate electrical signals.
Rev: Ithaca Startup Works puts new entrepreneurs through their paces
Over 10 weeks this summer, Rev’s Prototyping Hardware Accelerator guided product teams from back-of-the-napkin ideas to fully-fledged startups. In categories from climate technology to agricultural innovations, and with projects that range from canoe racing tools to improved tea dispensers, teams gained access to experts in their industry’s field, working together to figure out if their concept might be commercially desirable, technologically feasible and economically viable.
Dean Bala talks with The Wall Street Journal about how university researchers can influence generative AI research
Outspent by Big Tech, some academics are focusing on research that requires less computing power, even as they try to build more of it.
Redesigning videoconferencing for, and by, people who stutter
New research and an app aim to make Zoom and other video conferencing platforms less stressful for people with speech diversities, while improving the experience for everyone.
