Mapping the brain pathways of visual memorability
For the first time, researchers use a combination of MEG and fMRI to map the spatio-temporal human brain dynamics of a visual image being recognized.
This tiny chip can safeguard user data while enabling efficient computing on a smartphone
Researchers have developed a security solution for power-hungry AI models that offers protection against two common attacks.
To build a better AI helper, start by modeling the irrational behavior of humans
A new technique can be used to predict the actions of human or AI agents who behave suboptimally while working toward unknown goals.
Using deep learning to image the Earth’s planetary boundary layer
Lincoln Laboratory researchers are using AI to get a better picture of the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface. Their techniques could improve weather and drought prediction.

New AI method captures uncertainty in medical images
By providing plausible label maps for one medical image, the Tyche machine-learning model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information.
A faster, better way to prevent an AI chatbot from giving toxic responses
Researchers create a curious machine-learning model that finds a wider variety of prompts for training a chatbot to avoid hateful or harmful output.
Extracting hydrogen from rocks
Iwnetim Abate aims to stimulate natural hydrogen production underground, potentially unearthing a new path to a cheap, carbon-free energy source.
When an antibiotic fails: MIT scientists are using AI to target “sleeper” bacteria
Most antibiotics target metabolically active bacteria, but with artificial intelligence, researchers can efficiently screen compounds that are lethal to dormant microbes.
A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
Does technology help or hurt employment?
Combing through 35,000 job categories in U.S. census data, economists found a new way to quantify technology’s effects on job loss and creation.
Most work is new work, long-term study of U.S. census data shows
The majority of U.S. jobs are in occupations that have emerged since 1940, MIT research finds — telling us much about the ways jobs are created and lost.
