Artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making and enable action with reduced risk and greater precision, making it a critical tool for national security. A new program offered jointly by the MIT departments of Mechanical Engineering (Course 2, MechE) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6, EECS) will provide breadth and depth in technical studies for naval officers, as well as a path for non-naval officers studying at MIT, to grow in their understanding of applied AI for naval and military applications. “The potential for artificial intelligence is just starting to be fully realized. It’s a tool that dramatically improves speed, […]

Following the publication of his new book, Building Applications with AI Agents, I chatted with author Michael Albada about his experience writing the book and his thoughts on the field of AI agents. Michael’s a machine learning engineer with nine years of experience designing, building, and deploying large-scale machine learning solutions at companies such as Uber, ServiceNow, and more recently, Microsoft. He’s worked on recommendation systems, geospatial modeling, cybersecurity, natural language processing, large language models, and the development of large-scale multi-agent systems for cybersecurity. What’s clear from our conversation is that writing a book on AI these days is no […]

The following article originally appeared on Medium and is being republished here with the author’s permission. This post is a follow-up to a post from last week on the progress of logging. A colleague pushed back on the idea that we’d soon be running code we don’t fully understand. He was skeptical: “We’ll still be the ones writing the code, right? You can only support the code if you wrote it, right?…right?” That’s the assumption—but it’s already slipping. You Don’t Have to Write (or Even Read) Every Line Anymore I gave him a simple example. I needed drag-and-drop ordering in […]
