Accelerating scientific discovery with AI
Several researchers have taken a broad view of scientific progress over the last 50 years and come to the same troubling conclusion: Scientific productivity is declining. It’s taking more time,...
Combining technology, education, and human connection to improve online learning
MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) Fellow Caitlin Morris is an architect, artist, researcher, and educator who has studied psychology and used online learning tools to teach herself coding and other skills....
Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do
When you’re trying to communicate or understand ideas, words don’t always do the trick. Sometimes the more efficient approach is to do a simple sketch of that concept — for...
AI stirs up the recipe for concrete in MIT study
For weeks, the whiteboard in the lab was crowded with scribbles, diagrams, and chemical formulas. A research team across the Olivetti Group and the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) was...
Teaching AI models what they don’t know
Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT provide plausible-sounding answers to any question you might ask. But they don’t always reveal the gaps in their knowledge or areas where they’re uncertain. That...
MIT announces the Initiative for New Manufacturing
MIT today launched its Initiative for New Manufacturing (INM), an Institute-wide effort to reinfuse U.S. industrial production with leading-edge technologies, bolster crucial U.S. economic sectors, and ignite job creation. The...
With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell
A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and...
Q&A: A roadmap for revolutionizing health care through data-driven innovation
What if data could help predict a patient’s prognosis, streamline hospital operations, or optimize human resources in medicine? A book fresh off the shelves, “The Analytics Edge in Healthcare,” shows that...
Hybrid AI model crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds
What would a behind-the-scenes look at a video generated by an artificial intelligence model be like? You might think the process is similar to stop-motion animation, where many images are...
