MIT’s McGovern Institute is shaping brain science and improving human lives on a global scale

A quarter century after its founding, the McGovern Institute reflects on its discoveries in the areas of neuroscience, neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, brain-body connections, and therapeutics.

Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language

A new technique automatically guides an LLM toward outputs that adhere to the rules of whatever programming language or other format is being used.

A faster way to solve complex planning problems

By eliminating redundant computations, a new data-driven method can streamline processes like scheduling trains, routing delivery drivers, or assigning airline crews.

Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language

A new method from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab helps large language models to steer their own responses toward safer, more ethical, value-aligned outputs.

New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data

The approach maintains an AI model’s accuracy while ensuring attackers can’t extract secret information.

Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?

A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.

New method assesses and improves the reliability of radiologists’ diagnostic reports

The framework helps clinicians choose phrases that more accurately reflect the likelihood that certain conditions are present in X-rays.

Researchers teach LLMs to solve complex planning challenges

This new framework leverages a model’s reasoning abilities to create a “smart assistant” that finds the optimal solution to multistep problems.

For this computer scientist, MIT Open Learning was the start of a life-changing journey

Ana Trišović, who studies the democratization of AI, reflects on a career path that she began as a student downloading free MIT resources in Serbia.

MIT Maritime Consortium sets sail

A new international collaboration unites MIT and maritime industry leaders to develop nuclear propulsion technologies, alternative fuels, data-powered strategies for operation, and more.
