Please join the Annual AI & Quantum Summit, hosted by CSAIL Alliances and the MIT Center for Quantum Engineering (MIT CQE). This event is in-person at MIT with a virtual option.
On October 23rd, 2025, CSAIL and MIT experts will gather to explore how the field of quantum computing is changing, how AI innovation is molding quantum’s trajectory, and what business leaders should keep in mind as theory becomes reality.
MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has announced a new direction for its long-standing FinTech research initiative, now FinTechAI@CSAIL, to highlight the central role artificial intelligence is playing in shaping the future of finance.
More than seven years ago, cybersecurity researchers were thoroughly rattled by the discovery of Meltdown and Spectre, two major security vulnerabilities uncovered in the microprocessors found in virtually every computer on the planet.
A hospital that wants to use a cloud computing service to perform artificial intelligence data analysis on sensitive patient records needs a guarantee those data will remain private during computation. Homomorphic encryption is a special type of security scheme that can provide this assurance.
CSAIL Alliances Affiliate Member Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) hosted a January 2025 IAP course, “The Nexus of Games and AI.” Designed to “introduce students to game creation, current game-related research, and an exploration of the technology, the art, and the fun of video games,” this course allowed SIE to engage with a broad range of students, meet CSAIL faculty, and deepen their connection to MIT CSAIL.
Imagine you’re a chef with a highly sought-after recipe. You write your top-secret instructions in a journal to ensure you remember them, but its location within the book is evident from the folds and tears on the edges of that often-referenced page.
This past month Martin Rinard, MIT professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department (EECS) and CSAIL principal investigator, received the 2025 Outstanding Research Award from the ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT). The organization awarded him for his “fundamental contributions in pioneering the new fields of program repair and approximate computing.”
Daniela Rus, a distinguished computer scientist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has been honored with induction into the prestigious Académie Nationale de Médecine (ANM) as a foreign member on January 7, 2025. As the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Daniela leads over 1,700 researchers in pioneering innovations to advance computing and improve global well-being.
Daniela Rus, Director of CSAIL and MIT EECS Professor, recently received the 2025 Edison Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The award recognizes her leadership and pioneering work in modern robotics.
