Airbnb Says it's Deploying AI Technology to Stop Halloween Parties

Airbnb is using AI to help stop big Halloween parties being thrown at their locations that break its rules. The system looks at things like how long the stay is, how close the guest lives to the rental, and what kind of place it is. If it seems risky, the booking gets blocked. Last year, this was able to stop over 44,000 such bookings. Airbnb has used this anti-Halloween party protection measure for 5 years, and it has been working quite well, showing how how AI can be used to improve safety and prevent problems in real life.

Liquid Coolant Cooling AI Centers

Microsoft has designed a new method of cooling data centers using liquid coolant rather than cold plates. The liquid coolant moves in small grooves in the silicon die, allowing heat to be transferred efficiently compared to cold plates, which don't directly touch the silicon die. Specifically, the grooves mimic the branching of leaf veins or butterfly wings to distribute the liquid coolant. As a result, Microsoft is hopeful that microfluidics will greatly improve AI data centers and be applied to other technology.
