Presentations of the MIT Generative AI Week

 

MIT Generative AI Week reflects our conviction that MIT has a special responsibility to help society come to grips with the tectonic forces of generative AI – to understand its potential, contain its risks, and harness its power for good. Our objective is to spotlight the insights of our MIT researchers, stimulate thoughtful analysis, and engage in critical dialogues on the implications and possibilities of generative AI in our ever-shifting landscape.
