3D modeling you can feel
Essential for many industries ranging from Hollywood computer-generated imagery to product design, 3D modeling tools often use text or image prompts to dictate different aspects of visual appearance, like color...
Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming...
MIT’s McGovern Institute is shaping brain science and improving human lives on a global scale
In 2000, Patrick J. McGovern ’59 and Lore Harp McGovern made an extraordinary gift to establish the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, driven by their deep curiosity about...
A faster way to solve complex planning problems
When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often...
Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language
As we mature from childhood, our vocabulary — as well as the ways we use it — grows, and our experiences become richer, allowing us to think, reason, and interact...
Vana is letting users own a piece of the AI models trained on their data
In February 2024, Reddit struck a $60 million deal with Google to let the search giant use data on the platform to train its artificial intelligence models. Notably absent from...
Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?
The process of discovering molecules that have the properties needed to create new medicines and materials is cumbersome and expensive, consuming vast computational resources and months of human labor to...
New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data
Data privacy comes with a cost. There are security techniques that protect sensitive user data, like customer addresses, from attackers who may attempt to extract them from AI models —...
Taking the “training wheels” off clean energy
Renewable power sources have seen unprecedented levels of investment in recent years. But with political uncertainty clouding the future of subsidies for green energy, these technologies must begin to compete...
