Study reveals AI chatbots can detect race, but racial bias reduces response empathy

Researchers at MIT, NYU, and UCLA develop an approach to help evaluate whether large language models like GPT-4 are equitable enough to be clinically viable for mental health support.

Lara Ozkan named 2025 Marshall Scholar

The MIT senior will pursue graduate studies in the UK at Cambridge University and Imperial College London.

MIT affiliates named 2024 Schmidt Futures AI2050 Fellows

Five MIT faculty members and two additional alumni are honored with fellowships to advance research on beneficial AI.

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.

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.

MIT delegation mainstreams biodiversity conservation at the UN Biodiversity Convention, COP16

First organized MIT delegation highlights the Institute’s growing commitment to addressing climate change by showcasing research on biodiversity conservation, AI, and the role of local communities.
