Understanding the nuances of human-like intelligence

Understanding the nuances of human-like intelligence

⋅

What can we learn about human intelligence by studying how machines “think?” Can we better understand ourselves if we better understand the artificial intelligence systems that are becoming a more significant part of our everyday lives? These questions may be deeply philosophical, but for Phillip Isola, finding the answers is as much about computation as it is about cogitation. Isola, the newly tenured associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), studies the fundamental […]

A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems

A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems

⋅

To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions. But common approaches that give LLMs this capability set a fixed computational budget for every problem, regardless of how complex it is. This means the LLM might waste computational resources on simpler questions or be unable to tackle intricate problems that require more reasoning. To address this, MIT researchers developed a smarter way to allocate […]

Once Again, Chat Control Flails After Strong Public Pressure

Once Again, Chat Control Flails After Strong Public Pressure

⋅

The European Union Council pushed for a dangerous plan to scan encrypted messages, and once again, people around the world loudly called out the risks, leading to the current Danish presidency to withdraw the plan.  EFF has strongly opposed Chat Control since it was first introduced in 2022. The zombie proposal comes back time and time again, and time and time again, it’s been shot down because there’s no public support. The fight is delayed, but not over. […]

New AI system could accelerate clinical research

New AI system could accelerate clinical research

⋅

Annotating regions of interest in medical images, a process known as segmentation, is often one of the first steps clinical researchers take when running a new study involving biomedical images. For instance, to determine how the size of the brain’s hippocampus changes as patients age, the scientist first outlines each hippocampus in a series of brain scans. For many structures and image types, this is often a manual process that can be extremely time-consuming, especially if the regions […]

Google Colab Integrates KaggleHub for One Click Access to Kaggle Datasets, Models and Competitions

⋅

Google is closing an old gap between Kaggle and Colab. Colab now has a built in Data Explorer that lets you search Kaggle datasets, models and competitions directly inside a notebook, then pull them in through KaggleHub without leaving the editor. What Colab Data Explorer actually ships? Kaggle announced the feature recently where they describe a panel in the Colab notebook editor that connects to Kaggle search. From this panel you can: Search Kaggle datasets, models and competitions […]

Expert Available: School Choice is the Solution our Children Need

⋅

Recently, Cato Scholar Colleen Hroncich penned a new blog post in response to recent New York Times reporting titled: America’s Children Are Unwell, Says NYT—School Choice Should be Part of the Solution. In the blog post, Hroncich states that: lead , Our place-based school system was established in the 1800s, when travel and communication were significantly limited. It may have made sense at the time. But we no longer face those limitations. And we know that what works for one […]

Responding to the climate impact of generative AI

⋅

In part 2 of our two-part series on generative artificial intelligence’s environmental impacts, MIT News explores some of the ways experts are working to reduce the technology’s carbon footprint. The energy demands of generative AI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade. For instance, an April 2025 report from the International Energy Agency predicts that the global electricity demand from data centers, which house the computing infrastructure to train and deploy AI models, will more than double by […]
