Study: Firms often use automation to control certain workers’ wages
A new study shows that rather than use automation to pursue maximal efficiency, U.S. firms have often used it to replace employees who enjoy a “wage premium,” earning higher salaries than other comparable workers.
Games people — and machines — play: Untangling strategic reasoning to advance AI
MIT Assistant Professor Gabriele Farina explores his approach to untangling strategic reasoning to advance AI.
Beacon Biosignals is mapping the brain during sleep
Beacon Biosignals is creating a model to help diagnose and treat brain disorders, based on data collected while people sleep at home. The firm was founded by MIT alumnus Jake Donoghue and former MIT researcher Jarrett Revels.
Improving understanding with language
MIT senior Olivia Honeycutt studies the brain and linguistics to explore how cognition, education, language, language learning, education, policy, and the ways we communicate can shape our views of the world.
Making the case for curiosity-driven science
President Sally Kornbluth spoke in front of a packed crowd about growing challenges to the U.S. research ecosystem as funding for America’s top research universities becomes increasingly strained.
Solving the “Whac-a-mole dilemma”: A smarter way to debias AI vision models
A new debiasing approach called WRING resolves the "Whac-a-Mole dilemma" of existing debiasing approaches that can create or amplify existing biases.
The MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab launches to shape the future of AI and quantum computing
IBM and MIT announced the launch of the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab, advancing their long-standing collaboration to shape the next era of computing that combines AI, algorithms, and quantum computing. The new lab evolved from the MIT-IBM...
Enabling privacy-preserving AI training on everyday devices
MIT researchers developed a technique that accelerates a privacy-preserving approach for training AI models on edge devices. Their new framework could enable more accurate, efficient, and secure AI models to be used in under-resourced setti...
A faster way to estimate AI power consumption
The EnergAIzer technique can predict how much power a certain AI workload will consume when run on a particular processor. This method could help data center operators and algorithm developers improve the sustainability of AI workloads.
MIT scientists build the world’s largest collection of Olympiad-level math problems, and open it to everyone
