MIT has released a series of policy briefs surrounding the governance of artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on extending current regulatory and liability practices. Intended to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI, these policies aim to mitigate potential harm and promote beneficial exploration of the technology. The primary paper suggests that existing government entities overseeing…
Using the principles of geometry, Justin Solomon, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is tackling complex problems in data science and computer graphics. Building on Euclid’s ancient foundations of geometry, Solomon is leveraging geometric techniques to solve problems that are seemingly unrelated to shapes. He asserts that the language…
Researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning-powered digital simulator that can accurately replicate a particular photolithography manufacturing process. Photolithography is a technique used to intricately etch features onto surfaces, often used in the creation of computer chips and optical devices. Despite its precision, tiny deviations in the…
Scientists at MIT have made significant progress in developing advanced computational models that can emulate the human auditory system, which could be pivotal in improving hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. The researchers used deep neural networks—a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that imitates the human brain—to conduct the most extensive study so far…
A group of researchers have created a novel assessment system, CodeEditorBench, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) in various code editing tasks such as debugging, translating, and polishing. LLMs, which have greatly advanced due to the rise of coding-related jobs, are mainly used for programming activities such as code improvement and…
A committee of leaders and scholars from MIT has developed a series of policy briefs aimed at establishing a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. The briefs propose extending existing regulatory and liability approaches in a practical manner to oversee AI.
The main paper, titled “A Framework for U.S. AI Governance:…
Over two millennia ago, Greek mathematician Euclid laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of geometry. Today, that work serves as the bedrock for researchers like Justin Solomon, who uses geometry to address complex problems - many of which seem unrelated to shapes at first glance. Solomon is an associate professor at MIT's Department of…
Researchers at MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning-powered digital simulator for the photolithography process, frequently used in the manufacture of computer chips and optical devices. The team has built a digital simulator that can model the photolithography system based on real-world data, allowing for a greater level of…
Computational models that imitate how the human auditory system works may hold promise in developing technologies like enhanced cochlear implants, hearing aids, and brain-machine interfaces, a recent study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reveals. The study focused on deep neural networks, machine learning-derived computational models that stimulate the basic structure of the human…
A committee of leaders and scholars from MIT has developed a policy framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States. The aim of these policy briefs is to enhance U.S. leadership in AI and limit the potential harm from new technologies while promoting awareness of the societal benefits of AI deployment.
The…
