MIT students’ works redefine human-AI collaboration

Projects from MIT course 4.043/4.044 (Interaction Intelligence) were presented at NeurIPS, showing how AI transforms creativity, education, and interaction in unexpected ways.

Expanding robot perception

Associate Professor Luca Carlone is working to give robots a more human-like awareness of their environment.

Toward video generative models of the molecular world

Starting with a single frame in a simulation, a new system uses generative AI to emulate the dynamics of molecules, connecting static molecular structures and developing blurry pictures into videos.

The multifaceted challenge of powering AI

Providing electricity to power-hungry data centers is stressing grids, raising prices for consumers, and slowing the transition to clean energy.

Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact

Rapid development and deployment of powerful generative AI models comes with environmental consequences, including increased electricity demand and water consumption.

Algorithms and AI for a better world

Assistant Professor Manish Raghavan wants computational techniques to help solve societal problems.

Making the art world more accessible

The startup NALA, which began as an MIT class project, directly matches art buyers with artists.

New computational chemistry techniques accelerate the prediction of molecules and materials

With their recently-developed neural network architecture, MIT researchers can wring more information out of electronic structure calculations.

Teaching AI to communicate sounds like humans do

Inspired by the mechanics of the human vocal tract, a new AI model can produce and understand vocal imitations of everyday sounds. The method could help build new sonic interfaces for entertainment and education.
