MIT researchers “speak objects into existence” using AI and robotics

The speech-to-reality system combines 3D generative AI and robotic assembly to create objects on demand.

Researchers discover a shortcoming that makes LLMs less reliable

Large language models can learn to mistakenly link certain sentence patterns with specific topics — and may then repeat these patterns instead of reasoning.

MIT researchers propose a new model for legible, modular software

The coding framework uses modular concepts and simple synchronization rules to make software clearer, safer, and easier for LLMs to generate.

New software designs eco-friendly clothing that can reassemble into new items

To reduce waste, the Refashion program helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each component of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled.

Lincoln Lab unveils the most powerful AI supercomputer at any US university

Optimized for generative AI, TX-GAIN is driving innovation in biodefense, materials discovery, cybersecurity, and other areas of research and development.

School of Architecture and Planning welcomes new faculty for 2025

Four new professors join the Department of Architecture and MIT Media Lab.

MIT Learn offers “a whole new front door to the Institute”

The AI-enabled platform serves as a hub for MIT’s lifelong learning opportunities.

Can AI really code? Study maps the roadblocks to autonomous software engineering

A team of researchers has mapped the challenges of AI in software development, and outlined a research agenda to move the field forward.

LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments

Researchers find nonclinical information in patient messages — like typos, extra white space, and colorful language — reduces the accuracy of an AI model.

Researchers present bold ideas for AI at MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium kickoff event

Presentations targeted high-impact intersections of AI and other areas, such as health care, business, and education.
