3 Questions: Neural transparency and the future of AI design

Publisher preview

Millions of people are now designing their own personalized artificial intelligence companions, yet most have little idea how those creations will actually behave. In a new paper, MIT Media Lab Assistant Professor Pat Pataranutaporn and his graduate student researchers Anthony Baez and Sheer Karny introduce “neural transparency,” a tool that lets everyday users glimpse inside an AI’s neural network before their chatbot ever says a word. The work is being presented this week at the ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces. In this interview, Pataranutaporn, who is the Asahi Broadcasting…

The US is advancing AI safety through state and federal action

Publisher preview

Through reverse federalism, states are aligning on AI safeguards as the federal government builds toward a national standard—laying the groundwork for a US-led global framework. From state capitals across the country to Washington to international convenings, serious approaches to frontier AI governance are taking shape. Together, they are advancing a democratic vision for AI. California, New York, and most recently Illinois have advanced frontier safety legislation that helps move the country toward a common baseline for governing the most powerful AI systems. These efforts reflect momentum behind what OpenAI calls…

Helping AI models to meet the real world

Publisher preview

Systems using artificial intelligence to enhance forecasting, planning, and decision-making in businesses have been proliferating in recent years, but in many cases, they lack the detailed, specific information about the organization itself, limiting the usefulness of those tools. Devavrat Shah, a principal investigator at MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), faculty member with the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), and member of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS), has been focused on how to design methods that can handle second-by-second decision-making using limited…

Can AI build a jet engine? JARVIS Challenge tests role of AI copilots in tough-tech engineering

Publisher preview

Artificial intelligence has rapidly transformed software engineering. Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) can create huge volumes of code and documentation; machine-learning algorithms can monitor performance and detect security vulnerabilities. But when the task is to conceive, design, and make a complex physical system such as a jet engine, are those AI tools equally transformative? This past semester, the JARVIS Challenge (Jet-engine AI Research and Validation Intensive Sprint) set out to explore whether AI can compress the design-build-test cycle, asking MIT undergraduates to discover whether AI can help them…

Sales workflows with ChatGPT Work

Story brief

Sales teams often hold the facts needed for a decision in several places at once: customer records, call notes, email, chat, presentations and account documents. OpenAI's guide describes using ChatGPT Work to bring those materials together and prepare a first draft that a seller or manager can check. The aim is to spend less time assembling background and more time deciding what to do with it. ## Where the workflow can help The guide names five recurring jobs: prioritizing an account, preparing for a meeting, reviewing forecast risk, planning an…

How MIT students are helping to prevent cyberattacks

Publisher preview

In May 2019, the government of Baltimore, Maryland, fell into chaos. Cybercriminals had locked the city out of many of its critical files and demanded payment to decrypt them. The city refused to pay ransom. The attack incapacitated a swath of services, including real estate transactions and bill payment, and recovery costs soared into the millions. The syllabus of class 11.074/11.274 (Cybersecurity Clinic), a course in the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP), includes a case study on Baltimore’s situation as an example of increasingly common ransomware attacks…

AI agents create virtual playgrounds to help robots get crucial training data

Publisher preview

Robots walking down the street, surrounded by astounded onlookers, is an increasingly common sight. But these machines aren’t yet the do-it-all assistants you’d want working in a kitchen or factory, and a major bottleneck is data. Much like humans, robots learn best by experience. The challenge is that it’s labor-intensive and time-consuming to physically teach these machines so many actions across different settings. “One natural idea is to use simulation as a training ground. While there has been significant progress over the last few years in the physics engines that…
