🚨New Working Paper!🚨 🚩We built a commercial grade RCT platform called MindMeld for humans and AI agents to collaborate in integrative workspaces. 🚩We then tested it in a large-scale Marketing field experiment with surprising results: 🚩"Personality pairing" between human…
New research ranges from how AI agents negotiate to how “personality pairing” can optimize human-AI collaboration. @sinanaral @mit_ide bit.ly/4lvCiZR
The evolution of artificial intelligence tools raises questions about how well AI can perform tasks that have historically depended on human judgment. As AI takes over some of this work, will it demonstrate the requisite decision-making skills @sinanaral @mit_ide…
As an author and AI scientist, I have mixed feelings and suspect we haven't heard the end of this debate, as the right answer is not obvious: Federal judge rules copyrighted books are fair use for AI training nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
“We are already well into the Agentic Age [of AI] … But our understanding of how to work with AI agents to maximize productivity and performance, as well as the societal implications of this dramatic turn toward agentic AI, is nascent, if not nonexistent.” — @sinanaral…

This study emphasizes the importance of training #LLMs on the reasoning behind decisions, rather than just the #decisions themselves, to better align them with human judgment. Read: spkl.io/6014fLSAq Subscribe: spkl.io/6019fLSAv #AICommunity
MIT engineers advance toward a fault-tolerant quantum computer Researchers achieved a type of coupling between artificial atoms and photons that could enable readout and processing of quantum information in a few nanoseconds. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-engin…
Could an AI Agent Become One of Your Coworkers? Our RCT shows "personality pairing" among humans and AI boosts performance. medium.com/mit-initiative…
Great to see the @MITSloan IT Group so we'll represented! 💪🏼🚀
Amazing line up of brilliant researchers coming soon to @KelloggSchool Ryan Institute on Complexity for the AI & Innovation Speakers Series. This year we'll have talks from @bakkermichiel, Julio Ottino, @JMateosGarcia, @johnjhorton, and @2plus2make5
wow, just wow!! cc: @potamitis_n for our upcoming work on knowledge-seeking!!
Varying search queries is a nice new parameter for research
🚨New Working Paper!🚨 We just ran 12,000 search queries across 7 countries, generating 80,000 real-time GenAI and traditional search results, to understand current global exposure to GenAI search. We then used a preregistered, randomized experiment on a large study sample to…
