AI in health should be regulated, but don’t forget about the algorithms, researchers say
In a recent commentary, a team from MIT, Equality AI, and Boston University highlights the gaps in regulation for AI models and non-AI algorithms in health care.
Researchers reduce bias in AI models while preserving or improving accuracy
A new technique identifies and removes the training examples that contribute most to a machine-learning model’s failures.
Study: Some language reward models exhibit political bias
Research from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication finds this effect occurs even when reward models are trained on factual data.
Pixtral 12B is now available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart
Today, we are excited to announce that Pixtral 12B (pixtral-12b-2409), a state-of-the-art vision language model (VLM) from Mistral AI that excels in both text-only and multimodal tasks, is available for…
Enabling AI to explain its predictions in plain language
Using LLMs to convert machine-learning explanations into readable narratives could help users make better decisions about when to trust a model.
Daniela Rus wins John Scott Award
MIT CSAIL director and EECS professor named a co-recipient of the honor for her robotics research, which has expanded our understanding of what a robot can be.
Citation tool offers a new approach to trustworthy AI-generated content
Researchers develop “ContextCite,” an innovative method to track AI’s source attribution and detect potential misinformation.
What do we know about the economics of AI?
Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu has long studied technology-driven growth. Here’s how he’s thinking about AI’s effect on the economy.
