The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) at MIT has awarded funding to eight new research studies to understand how artificial intelligence innovations can be used in the fight against poverty through its new Project AI Evidence.The age of AI has brought wide-ranging optimism and skepticism about its effects on society. To realize AI’s
What if ultrasound imaging is no longer confined to hospitals? Patients with chronic conditions, such as hypertension and heart failure, could be monitored continuously in real-time at home or on the move, giving health care practitioners ongoing clinical insights instead of the occasional snapshots — a scan here and a check-up there. This shift from

Norway is the world’s largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon and a top exporter of seafood, while the United States remains the largest importer of these products, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. Two MIT students recently traveled to Trondheim, Norway to explore the cutting-edge technologies being developed and deployed in offshore aquaculture. Beckett Devoe,
We introduce the first deep learning–powered benchmark for proactive deforestation risk forecasting. Nature underpins our climate, our economies, and our very lives. And within nature, forests stand as one of the most powerful pillars — storing carbon, regulating rainfall, mitigating floods, and harboring the majority of the planet’s terrestrial biodiversity. Yet, despite their critical importance, the world
Forecasting the future of forests with AI: From counting losses to predicting risk Read More »
Natural Forests of the World 2020 is an AI-powered map that distinguishes natural forests from other tree cover. This critical baseline helps governments, companies, and communities meet deforestation-free goals and protect ecosystems. Forests are vital for our planet as they regulate rainfall, mitigate floods, store and sequester carbon, and help sustain the majority of the planet’s
