Heartfelt congratulations to @geoffreyhinton on his Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work in artificial neural networks! 🎉

As Ellen Moons, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, stated: "The laureates’ work has already been of the greatest benefit. In physics we use artificial neural networks in a vast range of areas, such as developing new materials with specific properties."

The CuspAI team is proud to build on Geoff's foundational work to develop next generation materials for a sustainable future. Thank you, Geoff, for your visionary contributions.

Clean air is important to the health of our nation. EWEC is deploying transformative innovations to substantially reduce carbon emissions from our power generation fleet by 42% by 2030.

EWEC is driving the UAE’s energy transition and collaborates with international partners to ensure that, through our actions, we can help improve air quality for future generations to come.

55 million+ people across the US under air quality alerts.
9 million acres charred by wildfires in Canada this year — 15x normal.
400+ fires still burning across Canada.

This is what the climate crisis looks like. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.
