Stratospheric safety standards: How aviation could steer regulation of AI in health

An interdisciplinary team of researchers thinks health AI could benefit from some of the aviation industry’s long history of hard-won lessons that have created one of the safest activities today.

Multiple AI models help robots execute complex plans more transparently

A multimodal system uses models trained on language, vision, and action data to help robots develop and execute plans for household, construction, and manufacturing tasks.

AI agents help explain other AI systems

MIT researchers introduce a method that uses artificial intelligence to automate the explanation of complex neural networks.

Complex, unfamiliar sentences make the brain’s language network work harder

A new study finds that language regions in the left hemisphere light up when reading uncommon sentences, while straightforward sentences elicit little response.

Leveraging language to understand machines

Master’s students Irene Terpstra ’23 and Rujul Gandhi ’22 use language to design new integrated circuits and make it understandable to robots.
