AI

The autonomous vehicle industry is heating up thanks to advances in AI. But can those same innovations help startups like HyprLabs build safe tech?

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of MIT engineers has now developed a way to predict, minute by minute, how individual cells will fold, divide, and rearrange during a fruit fly’s earliest stage of growth. The new method may

If language is what makes us human, what does it mean now that large language models have gained “metalinguistic” abilities?

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that human-like reasoning is around the corner. In reality, they still trail us by a wide margin on complex tasks. Try playing Sudoku with one, for instance, where you fill in numbers one through nine in such

In this episode of Uncanny Valley we take you through our recent conversation with Lisa Su, and go behind the scenes of our Big Interview event.

Artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making and enable action with reduced risk and greater precision, making it a critical tool for national security. A new program offered jointly by the MIT departments of Mechanical Engineering (Course 2, MechE) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6, EECS) will provide breadth and depth in technical studies for

As cloud infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, the need for intuitive and efficient management interfaces has never been greater. Traditional command-line interfaces (CLI) and web consoles, while powerful, can create barriers to quick decision-making and operational efficiency. What if you could speak to your AWS infrastructure and get immediate, intelligent responses? In this post, we explore

Fears about AI data centers’ water use have exploded. Experts say the reality is far more complicated than people think.

Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide

The order creates a Justice Department task force to challenge state AI laws and directs the Commerce Department to pull future broadband funding from states that pass “onerous” legislation.
