Professor Emeritus Fernando Corbató, MIT computing pioneer, dies at 93
Longtime MIT professor developed early “time-sharing” operating systems and is widely credited as the creator of the world’s first computer password.
Artificial Intelligence
Automated system generates robotic parts for novel tasks
When designing actuators involves too many variables for humans to test by hand, this system can step in.
Visiting lecturer to spearhead project exploring the geopolitics of artificial intelligence
At MIT, Luis Videgaray, alumnus and former foreign minister of Mexico, will launch project to help shape international AI policies.
Teaching artificial intelligence to create visuals with more common sense
An MIT/IBM system could help artists and designers make quick tweaks to visuals while also helping researchers identify “fake” images.
Drag-and-drop data analytics
System lets nonspecialists use machine-learning models to make predictions for medical research, sales, and more.
New AI programming language goes beyond deep learning
General-purpose language works for computer vision, robotics, statistics, and more.
Translating proteins into music, and back
By turning molecular structures into sounds, researchers gain insight into protein structures and create new variations.
