Study: Firms often use automation to control certain workers’ wages

When we hear about automation and artificial intelligence replacing jobs, it may seem like a tsunami of technology is going to wipe out workers broadly, in the name of greater efficiency. But a study co-authored by an MIT economist shows markedly different dynamics in the U.S. since 1980. Rather than implement automation in pursuit of maximal […]

Making the case for curiosity-driven science

“The thing that really struck me when I came to MIT and strikes me every single day is the stuff that’s going on here is amazing. The science, the engineering… every day I hear something that makes my jaw drop,” remarked President Sally Kornbluth during a live discussion with Lizzie O’Leary of Slate’s “What Next:

Solving the “Whac-a-mole dilemma”: A smarter way to debias AI vision models

In today’s hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign. But if the model is biased toward certain skin tones, it could fail to identify a high-risk patient.Perhaps one of

IDC: How EMEA CIOs can jumpstart AI rollouts

Getting stalled enterprise AI rollouts in the EMEA region moving again will require CIOs to aggressively audit their systems. Over the past 18 months, AI deployments across Europe advanced far beyond initial testing. Companies poured capital into large language models and machine learning, expecting heavy operational upgrades. IDC research reveals that boards are slowing down,
