CSAIL Alliances connects organizations to CSAIL through a variety of engagement programs. Being a large lab, there are several different paths to collaboration. What is your motivation to connect with the lab as an industry partner? Whether it’s research, faculty connections, new technology, talent acquisition or development, startups, or just wanting to stay informed, there is a path of engagement to work with CSAIL at MIT. Industry has a vital role at the lab. We seek input into hard problems industry faces for which no commercial solution exists. How can we work to advance the field? Solve hard problems? Help companies and individuals through advances in computation?

The Clinical Decision-Making Group's mission is to explore and further the application of  technology and artificial intelligence to clinical situations. They also focus on the gathering, availability, security, and  use of medical information throughout the human “life  cycle” and beyond, in order to help support the vital nature  of medical practice.

The MIT Future of Data, Trust, and Privacy initiative is an opportunity for industry partners to work with MIT researchers on new policy-informed, technical approaches to today’s privacy challenges; to understand the implications of new laws such as the GDPR; and to lead a global dialogue with policymakers, civil society, and industry leaders as we shape the future of privacy and data governance. We are inviting a small group of organizations to help us build this research initiative.

The initiative leads technical research on privacy-enhancing data systems and analytic techniques, create a policy dialogue with extensive public engagement, and develop new educational opportunities related to data governance technology and public policy.
