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.

How to more efficiently study complex treatment interactions

A new approach for testing multiple treatment combinations at once could help scientists develop drugs for cancer or genetic disorders.

Changing the conversation in health care

The Language/AI Incubator, an MIT Human Insight Collaborative project, is investigating how AI can improve communications among patients and practitioners.

AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”

An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.

Study could lead to LLMs that are better at complex reasoning

Researchers developed a way to make large language models more adaptable to challenging tasks like strategic planning or process optimization.

Using generative AI to help robots jump higher and land safely

MIT CSAIL researchers combined GenAI and a physics simulation engine to refine robot designs. The result: a machine that out-jumped a robot designed by humans.

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.

A sounding board for strengthening the student experience

Composed of “computing bilinguals,” the Undergraduate Advisory Group provides vital input to help advance the mission of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing.

Unpacking the bias of large language models

In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems.
