Researchers present bold ideas for AI at MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium kickoff event Presentations targeted high-impact intersections of AI and other areas, such as health care, business, and education June 20, 2025 Read full story →
- Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors
- Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium
The MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium is a collaboration between MIT, founding member companies, and researchers across disciplines who aim to develop open-source generative AI solutions, accelerating innovations in education, research, and industry
- Algorithms and AI for a better world - MIT News
A good example of Raghavan’s intention can be found in his exploration of the use AI in hiring Raghavan says, “It’s hard to argue that hiring practices historically have been particularly good or worth preserving, and tools that learn from historical data inherit all of the biases and mistakes that humans have made in the past ”
- MIT researchers introduce generative AI for databases
Researchers from MIT and elsewhere developed an easy-to-use tool that enables someone to perform complicated statistical analyses on tabular data using just a few keystrokes Their method combines probabilistic AI models with the programming language SQL to provide faster and more accurate results than other methods
- What do we know about the economics of AI? - MIT News
By contrast, in one paper, “The Simple Macroeconomics of AI,” published in the August issue of Economic Policy, Acemoglu estimates that over the next decade, AI will produce a “modest increase” in GDP between 1 1 to 1 6 percent over the next 10 years, with a roughly 0 05 percent annual gain in productivity
- “An AI future that honors dignity for everyone” - MIT News
AI will likely evolve through a cycle of inflated expectations, disillusionment, and eventual pragmatic inspiration ” Still, Vinson suggested there were substantial differences between AI and some of our earlier technological leaps — the industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, and the digital revolution, among others
- AI tool generates high-quality images faster than state-of-the-art . . .
A hybrid AI approach known as hybrid autoregressive transformer can generate realistic images with the same or better quality than state-of-the-art diffusion models, but that runs about nine times faster and uses fewer computational resources The new tool uses an autoregressive model to quickly capture the big picture and then a small diffusion model to refine the details of the image
