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.

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.

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.

Study: Browsing negative content online makes mental health struggles worse

Researchers have developed a web plug-in to help those looking to protect their mental health make more informed decisions.

Want to design the car of the future? Here are 8,000 designs to get you started.

MIT engineers developed the largest open-source dataset of car designs, including their aerodynamics, that could speed design of eco-friendly cars and electric vehicles.

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.

New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding

The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.
