Shifting data center power to off-peak hours could cut grid costs in the age of AI
The number of U.S. data centers is growing, largely to power artificial intelligence programs. That has led to concern about the environmental consequences of data centers—and their impact on the energy grid itself. What will happen if scores of new data centers come online?
Anthropic Thinks Its Own Success Is Key to Making AI Safe
Anthropic’s critics argue it’s rapidly accumulating power. The company says that’s what responsible AI development looks like.
Agentic AI bot helps scientists speak to robots, speeding up experiments
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and implement experiments. However, setting up an experiment on an autonomous lab robot is surprisingly slow. The effort requires a lengthy back-and-forth between a scientist and an engineer to design the experimental steps—a process that can take …
