Study: AI could lead to inconsistent outcomes in home surveillance
Researchers find large language models make inconsistent decisions about whether to call the police when analyzing surveillance videos.
Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS)
MIT researchers use large language models to flag problems in complex systems
The approach can detect anomalies in data recorded over time, without the need for any training.
Study: When allocating scarce resources with AI, randomization can improve fairness
Introducing structured randomization into decisions based on machine-learning model predictions can address inherent uncertainties while maintaining efficiency.
Large language models don’t behave like people, even though we may expect them to
A new study shows someone’s beliefs about an LLM play a significant role in the model’s performance and are important for how it is deployed.
AI model identifies certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer
The model could help clinicians assess breast cancer stage and ultimately help in reducing overtreatment.
How to assess a general-purpose AI model’s reliability before it’s deployed
A new technique enables users to compare several large models and choose the one that works best for their task.
When to trust an AI model
More accurate uncertainty estimates could help users decide about how and when to use machine-learning models in the real world.
