Powering up for a pivotal moment

Utilizing waste carbon at scale, assessing public trust in artificial intelligence and data centers, and building a quantum toolkit for critical applications were among the topics energy experts explored at the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI)’s annual research conference on Sept. 22-23.The complexity of the energy transition demands “a truly interdisciplinary and international approach,” said Paula

New tool lets users repair AI-generated 3D models, then fabricate them just the way they want

“What you see is what you get” is a guiding principle for many software engineers — create programs where the content you’re editing looks the same as the final product. But when you’re using generative artificial intelligence systems to 3D print, say, a mug, you’ll likely get a cup that can’t hold your coffee. Why is

The promise and peril of using visual AI to study cities

A few months ago, researchers from the MIT Senseable City Lab published a study about pollution in New York City featuring some new methods. For instance: With machine learning, they identified the types of vehicles appearing in 331 traffic cameras in the city, and estimated the emissions coming from each automobile. Given enough cameras, these

ChatGPT pioneer launches Jev model for programmatic logic

TypeSafe, founded by a ChatGPT co-inventor, has left stealth and is launching its Jev model to automate programmatic decisions with parallel sampling architecture. Software systems requiring automated deterministic logic can now bypass conversational language models following TypeSafe AI’s release of Jev, a specialised System One Model designed to execute structured probabilistic decisions directly inside production

Tiny robot boats build floating structures

Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like construction site.Their new system, called “FloatForm,” is a swarm of small square robotic boats that assemble themselves into larger structures on the water, break apart, and reassemble into something new, all with

3 Questions: Beyond data-driven aesthetics

“Beyond Data-Driven Aesthetics,” by MIT Architecture alumnus and researcher Alexandros Haridis, on view at the MIT Keller Gallery through June 30, examines 20th- and 21st-century efforts to transform computing into a medium for creative production and aesthetic judgment in architecture and the applied arts. Drawing on philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and design computation, the exhibition

‘On the threshold of a new age’: inside the New Museum’s $82m expansion and landmark new exhibition in New York

After a two year closure, the museum doubles its gallery space with a 700-plus object show examining how humans and technology shape each otherRight now on the Bowery, a busy Manhattan thoroughfare, two supersized lovers embrace several stories up into the blue spring sky. Strapped against the New Museum’s industrial mesh exterior, the pair are
