Envisioning the future of computing
MIT students share ideas, aspirations, and vision for how advances in computing stand to transform society in a competition hosted by the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing.
If art is how we express our humanity, where does AI fit in?
MIT postdoc Ziv Epstein SM ’19, PhD ’23 discusses issues arising from the use of generative AI to make art and other media.
New tool helps people choose the right method for evaluating AI models
Selecting the right method gives users a more accurate picture of how their model is behaving, so they are better equipped to correctly interpret its predictions.
Exploring new methods for increasing safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles
A new study finds human supervisors have the potential to reduce barriers to deploying autonomous vehicles.

3 Questions: Jacob Andreas on large language models
The CSAIL scientist describes natural language processing research through state-of-the-art machine-learning models and investigation of how language can enhance other types of artificial intelligence.
Study: AI models fail to reproduce human judgements about rule violations
Models trained using common data-collection techniques judge rule violations more harshly than humans would, researchers report.
MIT CSAIL researchers discuss frontiers of generative AI
Experts convene to peek under the hood of AI-generated code, language, and images as well as its capabilities, limitations, and future impact.
Efficient technique improves machine-learning models’ reliability
The method enables a model to determine its confidence in a prediction, while using no additional data and far fewer computing resources than other methods.

This year's fellows will work across research areas including telemonitoring, human-computer interactions, operations research, AI-mediated socialization, and chemical transformations.
Study: Automation drives income inequality
New data suggest most of the growth in the wage gap since 1980 comes from automation displacing less-educated workers.
Ensuring AI works with the right dose of curiosity
Researchers make headway in solving a longstanding problem of balancing curious “exploration” versus “exploitation” of known pathways in reinforcement learning.
Bringing lessons from cybersecurity to the fight against disinformation
Mary Ellen Zurko pioneered user-centered security in the 1990s. Now she’s using those insights to help the nation thwart influence operations.
