Following MIT President Sally Kornbluth’s second call for proposals, 16 teams of MIT scholars have been selected to develop research papers analyzing the impact of generative AI on a broad range of topics and disciplines.

Twelfth grader Jessica Wan won the 15th Math Prize for Girls (MP4G) annual contest for female-identifying students, hosted by the MIT Department of Mathematics, for the third time.

MIT researchers have developed a new PAC privacy method that can safeguard sensitive data by adding the least amount of noise.

MIT researchers created a new data privacy metric, Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) Privacy, and built an algorithm based on this metric that can automatically determine the minimal amount of randomness that needs to be added to a machine-learning model to protect sensitive data from an adversary.

There has been a remarkable surge in the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence to address a wide range of problems and challenges. While their adoption, particularly with the rise of AI, is reshaping nearly every industry sector, discipline,

MIT Schwarzman College of Computing's inaugural Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) Symposium convened experts from multiple disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise with the broad applicability of computing in many aspects of society.

OpenAI is working on a way to watermark text, according to a guest researcher working at the lab. But it's limited in key ways.

High school junior Jessica Wan received the top $50,000 prize, with a score of 17 out of 20, out of 240 girls in the U.S. and Canada competing in the Math Prize for Girls annual contest at MIT.

Fonts as puzzles: Can you solve them? A font created by Erik and Martin Demaine. The Demaines, a father-and-son team of “algorithmic typographers,” have confected an entire suite of mathematically inspired typefaces. Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine and Katie Steckles via The New York Times. by Siobhan Roberts (NYT NEWS SERVICE) .- The verb “puzzle” — to perplex or confuse, bewilder or bemuse — is of unknown origin. “That kind of fits,” said Martin Demaine, an artist-in-residence at the Mas...

 E-Mail Contemporary robots can move quickly. "The motors are fast, and theyre powerful," says Sabrina Neuman. Yet in complex situations, like interactions with people, robots often dont move quickly. "The hang up is whats going on in the robots head," she adds. Perceiving stimuli and calculating a response takes a "boatload of computation," which limits reaction time, says Neuman, who recently graduated with a PhD from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). ...
