In response to a call for papers by MIT President and Provost regarding generative AI, a massive interest resulted in the submission of 75 proposals. A second call for papers in the Fall resulted in an additional 53 submissions, leading to a total of 43 selected proposals receiving seed and exploratory funding.

In response to a call for research proposals on generative AI issued last summer, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart received an overwhelming response from the MIT research community. The initiative resulted in the submission of 75 proposals, with 27 receiving seed funding.
Gaining significant insight from the quality of ideas received, they issued…
Last year, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart launched an initiative to compile and publish proposals on the subject of generative artificial intelligence (AI). They requested submissions of papers detailing effective roadmaps, policy recommendations, and calls for action to further develop and understand the field.
The appeal for the first round of papers generated…
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 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…
In response to a call from MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart, researchers have submitted 75 proposals addressing the use of generative AI. Due to the overwhelming response, a second call was issued, with 53 submissions. A selected 27 from the initial call, and 16 from the second have been granted seed funding.…
Last summer, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart invited researchers to submit papers that lay out effective strategies, policy recommendations, and urgent actions within the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Among the 75 received proposals, 27 were selected for seed funding.
Impressed by the level of interest and the quality of ideas,…
MIT President, Sally Kornbluth, and Provost, Cynthia Barnhart, issued a call for papers last summer regarding “effective roadmaps, policy recommendations, and calls for action” in the field of generative AI. From the 75 proposals they received, 27 were chosen for seed funding. Following the enormous response, a second call for proposals was launched which resulted…
MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart launched a call for papers last summer to create policy recommendations and effective strategies in the realm of generative AI. The duo received 75 proposals, out of which 27 were picked for seed financing. Encouraged by the response, a second call was held in fall, resulting in…
Scientists led by Themistoklis Sapsis at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed a strategy to "correct" the predictions of coarse global climate models, enhancing the accuracy of risk analysis for extreme weather events. Global climate models, used by policymakers to assess a community's risk of severe weather, can predict weather patterns decades or even…
Global climate models predict future weather conditions, but these models are limited in their ability to provide detailed forecasts for specific locations. Policymakers often need to supplement these coarse-scale models with high-resolution ones to predict local extreme weather events. However, the accuracy of these predictions heavily depends on the initial coarse model’s accuracy. Themistoklis Sapsis,…
To better predict the risks of extreme weather events due to climate change, scientists at MIT have developed a method that refines the predictions from large, coarse climate models. The key to this approach is leveraging machine learning and dynamical systems theory to make the climate models' large-scale simulations more realistic. By correcting the climate…
