Synopsis: If not solved, AI models' power and water consumption threaten human society and ecology. AI is expected to consume 4% of the world's electricity by 2026. Water requirements are even more alarming as water is a shared, non-renewable resource. This talk will discuss some ways, such as data center redesign that industry and academia... Read more →

Humans make decisions and solve problems using heuristics (“thinking fast”) or abstract approaches such as modeling (“thinking slow”). Artificial intelligence approaches can similarly use either heuristics that are related to correlation and categorization, or use models that are related to causation. Predictive Engineering, which melds engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking, aligns closely with causation and... Read more →
