Tech Giants Grapple with Growing ‘Thirst’ of Generative AI

The global race for the next wave of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has put major tech players like Microsoft and Google under the spotlight for a significant surge in their water consumption. A recent study by Shaolei Ren at the University of California, Riverside, revealed that AI models, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, have a considerable water footprint, with ChatGPT using 500 milliliters of water for every 10 to 50 prompts. Ren and colleagues warned of the potential environmental roadblocks if […]

QIN: Yeah, uh, we work on the problem of molecular docking, a computational modeling method used to predict the preferred orientation of one molecule when it binds to a second molecule to form a stable complex. So it aims to predict the binding pose of a ligand in the active site of a receptor and estimate the ligand-receptor binding affinity. This problem is very important for drug discovery and development. Accurately predicting binding poses can provide insights into how a […]

ALESSANDRO SORDONI: Hi, Gretchen, thank you for having me. HUIZINGA: So in a few sentences, tell us about the issue or problem that your research addresses and why we should care about it. SORDONI: So in this paper, our starting points are large language models, and to make large language models solve tasks, one of the ways that is currently used is to prompt them. By prompting that means just giving instruction to them, and hopefully by joining instruction and […]
