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.

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.

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.

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.
