Eco-driving measures could significantly reduce vehicle emissions
Any motorist who has ever waited through multiple cycles for a traffic light to turn green knows how annoying signalized intersections can be. But sitting at intersections isn’t just a drag on drivers’ patience — unproductive vehicle idling could contribute as much as 15 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. land transportation. A large-scale modeling study led by MIT researchers reveals that eco-driving measures, which can involve dynamically adjusting vehicle speeds to reduce stopping and excessive […]
Method teaches generative AI models to locate personalized objects
Say a person takes their French Bulldog, Bowser, to the dog park. Identifying Bowser as he plays among the other canines is easy for the dog-owner to do while onsite. But if someone wants to use a generative AI model like GPT-5 to monitor their pet while they are at work, the model could fail at this basic task. Vision-language models like GPT-5 often excel at recognizing general objects, like a dog, but they perform poorly at locating […]
EFF to Arizona Federal Court: Protect Public School Students from Surveillance and Punishment for Off-Campus Speech
Legal Intern Alexandra Rhodes contributed to this blog post. EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Arizona District Court to protect public school students’ freedom of speech and privacy by holding that the use of a school-issued laptop or email account does not categorically mean a student is “on campus.” We argued that students need private digital spaces beyond their school’s reach to speak freely, without the specter of constant school surveillance and punishment. Surveillance Software Exposed a […]

The Rational Bull Elk
I watch a lot of nature documentaries. I’m not very choosy about the animals covered, whether whales, moles, lions, ants, chameleons, blowfish, or mosquitoes. I’m even fascinated by footage of bacteria under a microscope. I’m usually immersed as I sit in front of my large-screen television, so long as I learn something about the intricacies of the species filmed in vibrant colors. What do they eat and how do they avoid being eaten? What are their life expectancies, […]
