MIT researchers examining the influence and uses of generative AI have received a second phase of seed funding.

Last year, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart encouraged academics to submit papers outlining roadmaps, policy recommendations, and calls to action in the area of generative AI. This generated a strong response, with 75 submissions being made. 27 of these were selected to receive seed funding. Due to the high interest and quality of…

The second series of funding grants has been distributed to MIT researchers investigating the effects and uses of generative AI.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has announced its plan to fund 16 research proposals dedicated to exploring the potential of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). The funding process began last summer when MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart invited research papers that could provide robust policy guidelines, efficient roadmaps, and calls to action…

Assisting beginners in creating sophisticated generative AI models

Artificial intelligence (AI) models today have become increasingly complex with billions of parameters. Existing AI models are largely inaccessible to many due to a lack of widespread knowledge of how to create and control them. MosaicML, a company co-founded by Jonathan Frankle PhD '23 and MIT Associate Professor Michael Carbin, strives to overcome this issue.…

Large language models utilize a surprisingly straightforward method to access some stored information.

Large language models (LLMs), such as those which power AI chatbots like ChatGPT, are highly complex. While these powerful tools are used in diverse applications like customer support, code generation, and language translation, they remain somewhat of a mystery to the scientists who work with them. To develop a deeper understanding of their inner workings,…

Large language models utilize an unexpectedly uncomplicated method to recall certain stored information.

Large language models (LLMs) that power artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT are extremely complex and their functioning isn't fully understood. These LLMs are used in a variety of areas such as customer support, code generation and language translation. However, researchers from MIT and other institutions have made strides in understanding how these models retrieve stored…
