Bridging the gap between design and production for optical instruments.

Photolithography, the technique of etching features onto a surface using light manipulation, is commonly used in the manufacturing of computer chips and optical devices. However, small deviations during the manufacturing process often impact the performance of the finished product. To address this, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have leveraged machine…

The team from MIT publishes research articles discussing AI’s governance.

A group of scholars and leaders from MIT has developed policy briefs to establish a governance framework for artificial intelligence (AI). The briefs are intended to assist U.S. policymakers, sustain the country's leadership position in AI, limit potential risks from new technologies, and explore how AI can benefit society. The primary policy paper, "A Framework for…

Bridging the gap between design and production for optical instruments

Researchers at MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning tool to emulate photolithography manufacturing processes. Photolithography is commonly used in the production of computer chips and optical devices, manipulating light to etch features onto surfaces. Variations in the manufacturing process can cause the end products to deviate from their…

A team from MIT publishes research papers on the management of AI.

A group of scholars from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has outlined a governance framework for artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative aims to educate U.S. lawmakers on the implementation of AI regulations that can enhance their leadership in the field, minimize any potential harm, and promote beneficial practices. The main policy paper, titled "A…

A computer expert is advancing the limits of geometry.

Over 2,000 years ago, Euclid, a Greek mathematician often referred to as the father of geometry, fundamentally transformed our understanding of shapes. Today, Justin Solomon, a professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), employs contemporary geometric approaches to tackle complex…

Bridging the gap between design and production for optical equipment.

Photolithography, the process of using light to precisely etch designs onto a surface, is a primary method for creating computer chips and optical devices. However, it's common for slight deviations during manufacturing to cause the final product to diverge from the intended design. To bridge this gap, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of…

The automated system educates users on the appropriate times to partner with an AI assistant.

Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a system that instructs users when to trust an AI system’s decision-making. In medicine, there might be instances like a radiologist using an AI model for reading X-rays where human intervention can make a difference. However, clinicians are uncertain whether to lean on the…
