Generative AI is increasingly being utilized to generate synthetic data, enhancing organizations' abilities to deal with situations where actual data may be limited or sensitive. Over the past three years, DataCebo, an MIT spinoff initiative, has been offering a generative software system known as the Synthetic Data Vault (SDV) to enable organizations to create synthetic…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a language-based navigational strategy for AI robots. The method uses textual descriptions instead of visual information, effectively simplifying the process of robotic navigation. Visual data traditionally requires significant computational capacity and detailed hand-crafted machine-learning models to function effectively. The researchers' approach involves converting a…
MIT researchers have developed a technique to train robots on multiple tasks by combining and optimising data from a variety of sources. At the core of their work is a type of generative AI known as a 'diffusion model', which learns from a specific dataset to complete a task. However, the particular innovation here lies…
A team of MIT researchers have developed a novel cryptographic ID tag to tackle product counterfeiting. This tag, which is remarkably smaller and cost-efficient than traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), uses terahertz waves to perform authentication. The small size of terahertz waves and their greater frequency compared to radio waves make them ideal for this…
MIT researchers have developed an anti-tampering ID tag that provides improved security compared to traditional radio frequency ID (RFID) tags that are commonly used for authentication.
The new tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than RFIDs, uses terahertz (THz) waves for authentication. However, like traditional RFIDs, it faced a vulnerability where counterfeiters could…
The ability to confirm the authenticity of products has become a paramount need in our world today, especially with the rise of counterfeiting. The most common method often used is radio frequency tags or RFIDs, which confirms the authenticity of a product but at a size and cost disadvantage. However, a new research by the…
MIT researchers have advanced their previously developed cryptographic ID tag that uses terahertz waves instead of radio frequency (RFID) technology, to bolster its security and undermine counterfeiting efforts. The initial model of their tag had a major flaw in that it could be peeled off a genuine item and reattached to a counterfeit, thereby tricking…
Researchers at MIT have created a cryptographic ID tag that offers improved security over traditional radio frequency (RFID) tags. This enhanced tag incorporates the use of terahertz waves and unique glue patterns to authenticate products and prevent counterfeiting. It’s smaller in size, cheaper to produce, and more secure than traditional RFIDs. The ID tag could…
