MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) held a special workshop with Microsoft Research to explore key challenges in creating trustworthy and robust artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The effort focused on addressing concerns about the trustworthiness of AI systems, including rising concerns with the safety, fairness, and transparency of the technologies.

MIT researchers have built a system that takes a step toward fully automated smart home by identifying occupants, even when they’re not carrying mobile devices. The system, called Duet, uses reflected wireless signals to localize individuals.
