What happens when thousands of people submit public comments urging stronger climate action from bank regulators...and most of them don't move the needle? Researchers from @ChicagoBooth used AI to open the black box of climate policy rulemaking—the findings are striking.
Thank you to @litian0331.bsky.social, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Data Science at UChicago, for Wednesday’s Chicago Data Night talk on Federation over Text, a distributed inference network! And thank you to our co-organizers @caai-booth.bsky.social and ChiData
AI can schedule appointments and transcribe doctor's notes—but it still can't reliably spot a scalpel in a surgical video. A new study from @chicagobooth.bsky.social's and @surgicaldsc.bsky.social found more data ≠ better #AI in the OR: www.chicagobooth.edu/research/cen...
In a world where scarce resources are a reality, choosing how we use our precious reserves is critical. So, what questions are really worth asking #AI when every request has a tangible cost? www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-m...
How Many Questions Can the World Afford to Ask AI?
Every query incurs energy costs, raising concerns about resource allocation.
