Our last study, with @dannyzekunren, @toniobuonassisi, @MITPVLab, is out in npj Computational Materials. We demonstrate that embedding physical knowledge, as inference, into black-box optimization provides a substantial acceleration in solar cell R&D. nature.com/articles/s41524-0…

The embargo on this story just lifted, and every news outlet is writing their take. But, if I may say so, you should read mine. Please and thank you. 💁🏻‍♀️ technologyreview.com/s/61465…

If I was an ambulance chasing lawyer, I'd be putting together a million person class action suit against HireVue. If I was a financier, I'd be selling their stock short. As it is, I'm an AI researcher so I'm tweeting what a bad idea this use of computer vision is ...
New: More than a million job-seekers have been assessed by HireVue's job-interview AI, which analyzes candidates' faces and voices and spits out an "employability" score. But AI researchers say it's "pseudoscience" and a "license to discriminate" wapo.st/365WHyG

IT'S HERE!!! The biggest story I’ve ever worked on. @techreview's very first interactive ever, which walks through a concrete example of AI bias, and why it’s so much more complicated than initially meets the eye. technologyreview.com/s/61350… 1/

Well, this is interesting. In an excerpt from his new biography, Disney CEO Bob Iger says that the Mouse House and Apple likely would have merged had Steve Jobs not passed away in 2011. wired.trib.al/d4JVYJx

This issue of MIT Technology Review rests on the premise that it's time to start talking less about the technology for preventing global warming and more about the technology we’ll need to live with it. trib.al/5hyjY8S

One of the key figures in today’s #blackhole story is scientist, #KatieBouman. Take a look at this photo of her & her stack of hard drives containing the image data for the @ehtelescope, next to the photograph of Margaret Hamilton and her Apollo Guidance Computer source code.

Even driver assist such as lane following does not work with the richness that human perception and common sense uses and is easily fooled. Here a Tesla is coaxed into going into the oncoming lane by some spots of paint on the road. youtube.com/watch?time_conti…
