Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely

The “PRoC3S” method helps an LLM create a viable action plan by testing each step in a simulation. This strategy could eventually aid in-home robots to complete more ambiguous chore requests.

AI in health should be regulated, but don’t forget about the algorithms, researchers say

In a recent commentary, a team from MIT, Equality AI, and Boston University highlights the gaps in regulation for AI models and non-AI algorithms in health care.

Researchers reduce bias in AI models while preserving or improving accuracy

A new technique identifies and removes the training examples that contribute most to a machine-learning model’s failures.

Study: Some language reward models exhibit political bias

Research from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication finds this effect occurs even when reward models are trained on factual data.

Enabling AI to explain its predictions in plain language

Using LLMs to convert machine-learning explanations into readable narratives could help users make better decisions about when to trust a model.

Daniela Rus wins John Scott Award

MIT CSAIL director and EECS professor named a co-recipient of the honor for her robotics research, which has expanded our understanding of what a robot can be.

Citation tool offers a new approach to trustworthy AI-generated content

Researchers develop “ContextCite,” an innovative method to track AI’s source attribution and detect potential misinformation.

A new way to create realistic 3D shapes using generative AI

Researchers propose a simple fix to an existing technique that could help artists, designers, and engineers create better 3D models.

Photonic processor could enable ultrafast AI computations with extreme energy efficiency

This new device uses light to perform the key operations of a deep neural network on a chip, opening the door to high-speed processors that can learn in real-time.

Improving health, one machine learning system at a time

Marzyeh Ghassemi works to ensure health-care models are trained to be robust and fair.
