Could artificial superintelligence be closer than we think? UC San Diego philosopher Eddy Keming Chen discusses recent advances in AI, the prospect of machines surpassing human intelligence and how society can thoughtfully navigate increasingly capable AI systems.
Scientific discovery increasingly depends on AI resources, including large-scale computing, high-quality data and specialized tools. Without access to these resources, ambitious questions pursued by U.S. researchers may exceed the resources of an individual laboratory or institution.
UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute hosted three summer internships in semiconductors, game design and AI, giving students hands-on, workforce-ready skills.
The San Diego Supercomputer Center will serve as the testing ground for a new $8.48 million project that could transform how AI data centers receive and manage electricity while helping prevent them from overwhelming California's power grid.
