3 Questions: How AI could optimize the power grid
While the growing energy demands of AI are worrying, some techniques can also help make power grids cleaner and more efficient.
Read MoreMIT scientists investigate memorization risk in the age of clinical AI
New research demonstrates how AI models can be tested to ensure they don’t cause harm by revealing anonymized patient health data.
Read MoreThe technique can help scientists in economics, public health, and other fields understand whether to trust the results of their experiments.
Read MoreA smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems
This new technique enables LLMs to dynamically adjust the amount of computation they use for reasoning, based on the difficulty of the question.

MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee
With insect-like speed and agility, the tiny robot could someday aid in search-and-rescue missions.
Read MoreNew control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe
MIT CSAIL and LIDS researchers developed a mathematically grounded system that lets soft robots deform, adapt, and interact with people and objects, without violating safety limits.
Read MoreResearchers discover a shortcoming that makes LLMs less reliable
Large language models can learn to mistakenly link certain sentence patterns with specific topics — and may then repeat these patterns instead of reasoning.
Read MoreCharting the future of AI, from safer answers to faster thinking
MIT PhD students who interned with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab Summer Program are pushing AI tools to be more flexible, efficient, and grounded in truth.
Read MoreTeaching robots to map large environments
A new approach developed at MIT could help a search-and-rescue robot navigate an unpredictable environment by rapidly generating an accurate map of its surroundings.
