This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Reviews weekly climate newsletter. To receive it in your inbox every Wednesday, sign up here.I love the fresh start that comes with a new year. And one thing adding a boost to my January is our newest list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies.In case you havent browsed this years list or a previous version, it features tech thats either breaking into prominence or changing society. We typically recognize a range of items running from early-stage research to consumer technologies that folks are getting their hands on now.As I was looking over the finished list this week, I was struck by something: While there are some entries from other fields that are three or even five years away, all the climate items are either newly commercially available or just about to be. Its certainly apt, because this year in particular seems to be bringing a new urgency to the fight against climate change. Were facing global political shifts and entering the second half of the decade. Its time for these climate technologies to grow up and get out there.Green steelSteel is a crucial material for buildings and vehicles, and making it accounts for around 8% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. New manufacturing methods could be a huge part of cleaning up heavy industry, and theyre just on the cusp of breaking into the commercial market.One company, called Stegra, is close to starting up the worlds first commercial green steel plant, which will make the metal using hydrogen from renewable sources. (You might know this company by its former name, H2 Green Steel, as we included it on our 2023 list of Climate Tech Companies to Watch.)When I first started following Stegra a few years ago, its plans for a massive green steel plant felt incredibly far away. Now the company says its on track to produce steel at the factory by next year.The biggest challenge in this space is money. Building new steel plants is expensiveStegra has raised almost $7 billion. And the companys product will be more expensive than conventional material, so itll need to find customers willing to pay up (so far, it has).There are other efforts to clean up steel that will all face similar challenges around money, including another play in Sweden called Hybrit and startups like Boston Metal and Electra, which use different processes. Read more about green steel, and the potential obstacles it faces as we enter a new phase of commercialization, in this short blurb and in this longer feature about Stegra.Cow burp remediesHumans love burgers and steaks and milk and cheese, so we raise a whole bunch of cows. The problem is, these animals are among a group with a funky digestion process that produces a whole lot of methane (a powerful greenhouse gas). A growing number of companies are trying to develop remedies that help cut down on their methane emissions.This is one of my favorite items on the list this year (and definitely my favorite illustrationat the very least, check out this blurb to enjoy the art).Theres already a commercially available option right now: a feed additive called Bovaer from DSM-Firmenich that the company says can cut methane emissions by 30% in dairy cattle, and more in beef cattle. Startups are right behind with their own products, some of which could prove even better.A key challenge all these companies face moving forward is acceptance: from regulatory agencies, farmers, and consumers. Some companies still need to go through lengthy and often expensive tests to show that their products are safe and effective. Theyll also need to persuade farmers to get on board. Some might also face misinformation thats causing some consumers to protest these new additives.Cleaner jet fuelWhile planes crisscrossing the world are largely powered by fossil fuels, some alternatives are starting to make their appearance in aircraft.New fuels, today mostly made from waste products like used cooking oil, can cut down emissions from air travel. In 2024, they made up about 0.5% of the fuel supply. But new policies could help these fuels break into new prominence, and new options are helping to widen their supply.The key challenge here is scale. Global demand for jet fuel was about 100 billion gallons last year, so well need a whole lot of volume from new producers to make a dent in aviations emissions.To illustrate the scope, take LanzaJets new plant, opened in 2024. Its the first commercial-scale facility that can make jet fuel with ethanol, and it has a capacity of about 9 million gallons annually. So we would need about 10,000 of those plants to meet global demanda somewhat intimidating prospect. Read more in my write-up here.From cow burps to jet fuel to green steel, theres a huge range of tech thats entering a new stage of deployment and will need to face new challenges in the next few years. Well be watching it allthanks for coming along.Now read the rest of The SparkRelated readingCheck out our full list of 2025s Breakthrough Technologies here.

The first Democrat in New York history with a computer science background wants to revive some of the ideas behind the failed California AI safety bill, SB 1047, with a new version in his state that would regulate the most advanced AI models. Its called the RAISE Act, an acronym for Responsible AI Safety and Education.Assembly member Alex Bores hopes his bill, currently an unpublished draftsubject to changethat MIT Technology Review has seen, will address many of the concerns that blocked SB 1047 from passing into law.SB 1047 was, at first, thought to be a fairly modest bill that would pass without much fanfare. In fact, it flew through the California statehouse with huge margins and received significant public support.However, before it even landed on Governor Gavin Newsoms desk for signature in September, it sparked an intense national fight. Google, Meta, and OpenAI came out against the bill, alongside top congressional Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Zoe Lofgren. Even Hollywood celebrities got involved, with Jane Fonda and Mark Hamill expressing support for the bill.Ultimately, Newsom vetoed SB 1047, effectively killing regulation of so-called frontier AI models not just in California but, with the lack of laws on the national level, anywhere in the US, where the most powerful systems are developed.Now Bores hopes to revive the battle. The main provisions in the RAISE Act include requiring AI companies to develop safety plans for the development and deployment of their models.The bill also provides protections for whistleblowers at AI companies. It forbids retaliation against an employee who shares information about an AI model in the belief that it may cause critical harm; such whistleblowers can report the information to the New York attorney general. One way the bill defines critical harm is the use of an AI model to create a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon that results in the death or serious injury of 100 or more people.Alternatively, a critical harm could be a use of the AI model that results in 100 or more deaths or at least $1 billion in damages in an act with limited human oversight that if committed by a human would constitute a crime requiring intent, recklessness, or gross negligence.The safety plans would ensure that a company has cybersecurity protections in place to prevent unauthorized access to a model. The plan would also require testing of models to assess risks before and after training, as well as detailed descriptions of procedures to assess the risks associated with post-training modifications. For example, some current AI systems have safeguards that can be easily and cheaply removed by a malicious actor. A safety plan would have to address how the company plans to mitigate these actions.The safety plans would then be audited by a third party, like a nonprofit with technical expertise that currently tests AI models. And if violations are found, the bill empowers the attorney general of New York to issue fines and, if necessary, go to the courts to determine whether to halt unsafe development.A different flavour of billThe safety plans and external audits were elements of SB 1047, but Bores aims to differentiate his bill from the California one. We focused a lot on what the feedback was for 1047, he says. Parts of the criticism were in good faith and could make improvements. And so weve made a lot of changes.The RAISE Act diverges from SB 1047 in a few ways. For one, SB 1047 would have created the Board of Frontier Models, tasked with approving updates to the definitions and regulations around these AI models, but the proposed act would not create a new government body. The New York bill also doesnt create a public cloud computing cluster, which SB 1047 would have done. The cluster was intended to support projects to develop AI for the public good.The RAISE Act doesnt have SB 1047s requirement that companies be able to halt all operations of their model, a capability sometimes referred to as a kill switch. Some critics alleged that the shutdown provision of SB 1047 would harm open-source models, since developers cant shut down a model someone else may now possess (even though SB 1047 had an exemption for open-source models). The RAISE Act avoids the fight entirely. SB 1047 referred to an advanced persistent threat associated with bad actors trying to steal information during model training. The RAISE Act does away with that definition, sticking to addressing critical harms from covered models.Focusing on the wrong issues?Bores bill is very specific with its definitions in an effort to clearly delineate what this bill is and isnt about. The RAISE Act doesnt address some of the current risks from AI models, like bias, discrimination, and job displacement. Like SB 1047, it is very focused on catastrophic risks from frontier AI models.Some in the AI community believe this focus is misguided. Were broadly supportive of any efforts to hold large models accountable, says Kate Brennan, associate director of the AI Now Institute, which conducts AI policy research. But defining critical harms only in terms of the most catastrophic harms from the most advanced models overlooks the material risks that AI poses, whether its workers subject to surveillance mechanisms, prone to workplace injuries because of algorithmically managed speed rates, climate impacts of large-scale AI systems, data centers exerting massive pressure on local power grids, or data center construction sidestepping key environmental protections, she says.Bores has worked on other bills addressing current harms posed by AI systems, like discrimination and lack of transparency. That said, Bores is clear that this new bill is aimed at mitigating catastrophic risks from more advanced models. Were not talking about any model that exists right now, he says. We are talking about truly frontier models, those on the edge of what we can build and what we understand, and there is risk in that.The bill would cover only models that pass a certain threshold for how many computations their training required, typically measured in FLOPs (floating-point operations). In the bill, a covered model is one that requires more than 1026 FLOPs in its training and costs over $100 million. For reference, GPT-4 is estimated to have required 1025 FLOPs.This approach may draw scrutiny from industry forces. While we cant comment specifically on legislation that isnt public yet, we believe effective regulation should focus on specific applications rather than broad model categories, says a spokesperson at Hugging Face, a company that opposed SB 1047.Early daysThe bill is in its nascent stages, so its subject to many edits in the future, and no opposition has yet formed. There may already be lessons to be learned from the battle over SB 1047, however. Theres significant disagreement in the space, but I think debate around future legislation would benefit from more clarity around the severity, the likelihood, and the imminence of harms, says Scott Kohler, a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who tracked the development of SB 1047.When asked about the idea of mandated safety plans for AI companies, assembly member Edward Ra, a Republican who hasnt yet seen a draft of the new bill yet, said: I dont have any general problem with the idea of doing that. We expect businesses to be good corporate citizens, but sometimes you do have to put some of that into writing.Ra and Bores co chair the New York Future Caucus, which aims to bring together lawmakers 45 and under to tackle pressing issues that affect future generations.Scott Wiener, a California state senator who sponsored SB 1047, is happy to see that his initial bill, even though it failed, is inspiring further legislation and discourse. The bill triggered a conversation about whether we should just trust the AI labs to make good decisions, which some will, but we know from past experience, some wont make good decisions, and thats why a level of basic regulation for incredibly powerful technology is important, he says.He has his own plans to reignite the fight: Were not done in California. There will be continued work in California, including for next year. Im optimistic that California is gonna be able to get some good things done.And some believe the RAISE Act will highlight a notable contradiction: Many of the industrys players insist that they want regulation, but when any regulation is proposed, they fight against it. SB 1047 became a referendum on whether AI should be regulated at all, says Brennan. There are a lot of things we saw with 1047 that we can expect to see replay in New York if this bill is introduced. We should be prepared to see a massive lobbying reaction that industry is going to bring to even the lightest-touch regulation.Wiener and Bores both wish to see regulation at a national level, but in the absence of such legislation, theyve taken the battle upon themselves. At first it may seem odd for states to take up such important reforms, but California houses the headquarters of the top AI companies, and New York, which has the third-largest state economy in the US, is home to offices for OpenAI and other AI companies. The two states may be well positioned to lead the conversation around regulation.There is uncertainty at the direction of federal policy with the transition upcoming and around the role of Congress, says Kohler. It is likely that states will continue to step up in this area.Wieners advice for New York legislators entering the arena of AI regulation? Buckle up and get ready.

While AMD recently unveiled a host of new processors, with some of them being specifically meant for handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck, Valves Pierre-Loup Griffais has revealed in a post on social media platform BlueSky that the company is not working on a new iteration of the device that will make use of AMDs Ryzen Z2 chips.There is and will be no Z2 Steam Deck, posted Griffais on BlueSky, responding to a now-deleted question. Guessing the slide was meant to say the series is meant for products like that, not announcing anything specific.Griffais is responding to rumours that were likely kicked off thanks to AMDs Ryzen Z2 announcements at CES, where it pointed to devices like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally as examples where the chip could be used. It is worth noting that the Ryzen Z2 chip is more powerful than the hardware the Steam Deck runs on, thanks to its more modern architecture that not only offers more power, but also more efficiency for better battery life.Valve has been quite steadfast about not working on a new iteration of the Steam Deck, with the most recent variant of the device simply sporting a larger battery and an OLED display. The company has previously stated that it would not be releasing new version of the Steam Deck unless there was some sort of generational leap in terms of power and efficiency. The new chip by AMD, on the other hand, would simply be an iterative follow-up with slightly more power under the hood. The company has instead focused on bringing more features to the Steam Deck through software updates.The success of the Steam Deck has also prompted game developers to pay attention to the device, with announcements that major releases will support the device at launch becoming commonplace. The most recent announcement was from BioWare leading up the release of Dragon Age: Veilguard.Other hardware companies have also been paying attention to the success of the Steam Deck, with many companies offering their own Windows-based devices as competition, including the Asus ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go.More recently, Lenovo teamed up with Valve to make the first handheld gaming system outside of the Steam Deck that would make use of SteamOS as its operating system. The device will be available later this year, and Lenovo will continue to work with Valve to bring more features to the Legion Go S through software updates.There is and will be no Z2 Steam Deck.

On the CES 2025 show floor, accessory maker Genki has managed to provide some more details about the rumoured Nintendo Switch 2. According to IGN, the company had not expected the amount of attention it got, since it believed it wasnt leaking things that hadnt already been made known to the public.I didnt expect this much media attention, to be honest, said a Genki representative to IGN.Thanks to the company having a mock-up model of the Switch 2 on display to help demonstrate its accessories, more details about the size of the system and its JoyCon controllers were discovered. The Switch 2 looks like it will be considerably larger than the original Nintendo Switch.Compared to the 9.4-inch width of the OLED Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 mock-up is almost an entire inch wider, coming in at 10.5 inches. The Switch 2 is also taller, coming in at 4.5 inches compared to the Switchs 4-inch height. This also means that the Switch 2 has a larger display, coming in at 8 inches compared to the Switchs 7-inch display. Both the OLED Switch and the Switch 2 seem to have the same thickness.The mock-up of the Switch 2 also allowed IGN to check the ergonomics of the device, including the various buttons on the system that can be pressed. One of the more interesting details is the fact that its JoyCons are attached to the main body of the Switch 2 through the use of magnets and SL/SR buttons that are metallic. The mechanism for sliding out the JoyCons has also seemingly changed, with a new, larger button under the triggers to facilitate this.The representative from Genki also noted that the Switch 2 looks like it could fit into the dock of the original Switch, but the company couldnt get it to work owing to the shapes of different grooves on the system. The Switch 2 reportedly also has an additional USB-C port on the top to allow charging the device while playing it in handheld mode.While no new technical details about the Switch 2 have been revealed by Genki, several recent leaks have indicated that, among other things, the Switch 2 will be capable of upscaling images for high-resolution output with its own implementation of DLSS-type technology.More recently, the logo for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been seemingly leaked thanks to Felipe Lima, who is known as a prominent leaker when it comes to Nintendo products. The logo appears to be quite similar to that of the original Switch, albeit with a big number 2 to signify the fact that it will be a new console.Other leaks have indicated that the Switch 2 might require more power than its predecessor, needing a higher powered charger for its dock.

The recent fires that have broken out across Los Angeles county in California have led to a number of shows halting production. According to Variety, among the shows that have had to stop production is the second season of Amazon Primes Fallout series.The Los Angeles permitting agency for filming, FilmLA, has released a statement, explaining its decision to withdraw permits issued for the production of these shows, which also include Ted, Hacks, and Abbott Elementary. The decision came from instructions issued by the Los Angeles county fire department.The LA County Fire Department has specifically instructed that all permits issued for filming in the communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and unincorporated Pasadena are withdrawn. Other permit revocations are possible, said FilmLA in its statement.The first season of the Fallout show made its debut a year ago, and saw quite a bit of success right off the bat. According to reports of the time, the show managed to get more than 5 million views in its first week alone. A couple of weeks later, reports indicated that it had garnered more than 65 million viewers in its first 16 days. A second season for Fallout was quickly greenlit, with filming reportedly having begun back in November.The success of the Fallout show also led to a spike in interest of Bethesdas open-world RPGs: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.While details about the second season of Fallout have been quite sparse, the ending of the first season indicated that we would be seeing the area surrounding New Vegas in some form. For more details of what we hope to see in the shows second season, here are 10 things we believe it needs.

We might be skeptical of some Nvidias claims, like whether a $549 RTX 5070 will truly deliver the performance of a $1599 RTX 4090. But its almost impossible not to be impressed by the RTX 5090 Founders Edition, where Nvidia fit 575 watts of graphics power, including 21,760 CUDA cores and 32GB of GDDR7 memory, into a video card just two slots wide. It almost has to be seen to be believed, and we sent my colleague Antonio around the CES show floor in Las Vegas in what was initially a fruitless search. No PC manufacturer seemed to have an interactive game demo running on a 5090, much less the two-slot card. But on Wednesday, we finally spotted the real deal at Nvidias offsite event and then some. Its heavy, and the uniquely desirable $2,000 card may wind up being rare, but its here, and it works.RelatedBelow, find our pictures of the relatively compact 5090; its incredibly compact PCB with the Blackwell chip on top; a game demo running on the 5090; a picture of the 5090, 5080, and 5070 Founders Editions side by side; and some examples of just how bulky every other partners cards can be compared to Nvidias own.The card measures 137 x 304 x 40mm two slots wide and roughly 12 inches long.
