A UC Riverside computer science team has developed a sensor-based technology that could revolutionize commercial beekeeping by reducing colony losses and lowering labor costs.

Computer processing demands for artificial intelligence, or AI, are spurring increasing levels of deadly air pollution from power plants and backup diesel generators that continuously supply electricity to the fast-growing number of computer processing centers. This air pollution, a new UCR and Caltech study estimates, is expected to result in as many as 1,300 premature deaths a year by 2030 in the United States and bring health costs to nearly $20 billion a year. 

UCR’s Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) has been awarded a $2 million grant over six years from the National Science Foundation to expand educational opportunities for scholarships for low-income students.
