From MIT to IBM, expediting AI and quantum deployment

MIT affiliates engage with the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab to bring rigorous theory to production systems.

System helps humans predict when self-driving cars will make mistakes

A new method, called CW-Net, translates the reasoning process of an autonomous vehicle’s AI system into understandable concepts that explain its behavior.

Looking beyond natural sequences

A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature.

AI helps design new materials that work in the real world

The “CrysVCD” tool developed at MIT could cut the huge amounts of time and money spent on screening out chemically unstable designs.

When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can’t be traced to training data

A new method for surgically removing training examples from a model reveals that as datasets grow, the link between what a model learns and what it produces dissolves.

With a feel for physics, AI models simulate a wider range of real-world scenarios

“GeoPT” helps AI models understand the basics of physics so they can simulate how objects respond to things like wind and water more efficiently and accurately.

The benefits of medical AI assistance vary based on user expertise

Study finds non-experts deferred to LLM-based diagnostic assistance, even when it was wrong, while clinicians caught AI errors.

Alexander Rakhlin named director of the MIT Statistics and Data Science Center

An expert in machine learning, statistics, and computation, Rakhlin succeeds Professor Ankur Moitra.

Daniela Rus receives Bavarian Minister-President’s High-Tech Prize

Director of CSAIL and MIT professor honored for her contributions to robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.
