Business, port and government leaders on Tuesday afternoon were busy trying to address the impact of the bridge's destruction while first responders scoured the waters below the bridge to search for victims.
In a major blow to commerce in the region, the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore is partially shut down after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday morning when it was struck by a cargo ship.
"The Key Bridge and Port of Baltimore are critical components of our nation’s infrastructure and supply chain,” the American Trucking Association said.
The Port of Baltimore is known for handling coal, sugar and specialized vehicles such as tractors and cranes
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, a deadly disaster that's disrupted a major transit route along the east coast, has also shut down a large section of the Baltimore port.
AI is revolutionizing tax preparation, offering efficiency and accuracy. Yet, it faces challenges like bias and reliability concerns.
Pneumonia, an infection in the lungs that causes difficulty breathing, is most commonly diagnosed through chest x-rays.
Critical infrastructure sectors are becoming increasingly complex and interdependent and so, too, are the physical and socioeconomic landscapes in which they operate. This in turn has increased the possibility of disruptions and subsequent compounding disruptions. Climate change adds an additional layer of uncertainty and disruption to these evolving interconnected networks. And, for the power grid, this shifting threat landscape is exacerbated by increased demand from electrification, decarbonization, population growth, and an overall increase in reliance on electricity. Climate change is also affecting energy usage patterns. For example, Texas has seen spikes in energy demand and intense strain on the power grid from both unexpected cold snaps and intense heat waves.
There is something different about the current moment in artificial intelligence. New capabilities are emerging rapidly due to advances in computing, algorithmic development, and access to vast amounts of data. The change feels real.
College basketball, especially Division I power conference teams, all seek the coveted prize of a national championship. Yet in every season, every team goes home empty except one that survives the grueling three weeks that are commonly known as March Madness.
Can artificial intelligence and other types of data analytics pick a Final Four in this year’s NCAA basketball tournament? Given all the computing power available these days and the wealth of data available, picking winners should be a no brainer. Add in the power of artificial intelligence and the results should be a foregone conclusion.
United Airlines has suffered a recent spate of flight incidents. They range from a tire falling off an airplane on takeoff from San Francisco International, an engine fire on a flight from Houston InterContinental to Fort Myers, an airplane sliding off the runway at Houston Intercontinental and a hydraulic system failure on a flight from San Francisco International to Mexico City. To throw even more gasoline on the fire, this weekend an external panel mysteriously disappeared off a United flight. In all incidences, there were no fatalities or injuries.
Two landmark events happened on Capitol Hill in August 2022: The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed, and the CHIPS and Science Act signed. Both acts hold promise to increase supply chain resilience and reduce dependence on China. Both seek to use federal incentives like tax credits and subsidies to strengthen domestic production in the semiconductor and clean-energy sectors.
Generative artificial intelligence – the use of computers to generate words, images, voice and videos indistinguishable from human-created content – is transforming every industry. Technology advances and new use cases appear daily with no slowdown in sight as gen AI is estimated to add $30 trillion annually to the world economy by 2030. Much of the impact is positive, including the ability to quickly synthesize massive quantities of data and text, freeing humans to spend their time on more creative tasks where we still excel. But there are also serious risks that must be mitigated.
10 March Madness tips from a certified bracket master
In December 2019, Connecticut announced the largest purchase of renewable energy in state history. Providing 804 megawatts of offshore wind power, Avangrid’s Park City Wind Project promised the equivalent of 14% of the state’s electricity supply, $890 million in direct economic development, improved grid reliability during the winter and the opportunity to slash over 25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
The growth of artificial intelligence and its wholehearted embrace by business higher education has surprised even those who have long studied it. Count among them Professor Tinglong Dai, who teaches a first-of-its-kind MBA course at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School called Data Science: Artificial Intelligence.
People love an underdog for many reasons, even if the data tells them the underdog is unlikely to come out victorious. Why?
Penn State University Professor Matt Jordan recently started incorporating artificial intelligence into his Media Democracy class.
Leadership discussions on AI often center on defining an AI strategy, much like formulating plans for marketing or operations. Yet, a more profound and potentially impactful prospect is emerging: embedding AI at the heart of strategic decision-making.
