Boston University’s Center for Brain Research, which received a $3.2 million National Institutes of Health grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, is spearheading a new project to develop tools that can reliably predict the outcomes of personalized treatment plans for patients with post-stroke aphasia.
It’s fall again, and I’m thinking about Franz Kafka.
Last year around this time, I read his work “Letters to Milena,” and if there is one thing Kafka can do well, it’s letter writing.

I can barely get through a conversation without talking about AI.
Whether it’s someone talking about it with an almost religious fanaticism or simply just using it for task planning and questions,...
With ChatGPT and OpenAI becoming household names over the last few years, educational institutions like Boston University have been faced with a pressing question: Is it time to embrace generative AI in...
After applying to internships and jobs last summer, Boston University juniors Loup Wang and Luca Piekarski found the process frustrating and inefficient, which inspired them to find a solution.
The two teamed up with Wang’s high school friend, University of Alabama senior Vance Spears, to create their own solution: Ascendia, a web-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to help college students navigate and personalize the internship application process.
Boston University professors and administration weigh in on the role artificial intelligence should play in the classroom, as the generative AI industry booms.
Focusing on maximizing efficiency and cutting costs by employing artificial intelligence over real reporters will only harm the news industry in the long run. We must take action to protect both journalists as individuals and journalism as societal necessity.
AI isn’t going away — but that doesn’t mean we should blindly accept its encroachment into areas that are best left for human hands.
What if, as a consequence of Vance’s enforcement of open-sourcing model weights, the People’s Liberation Army had open access to the weights of frontier American models? The implications might be detrimental, and here’s why.
The Nobel Prizes represent an interesting litmus test for hot topics in modern research — and this year is no exception.
David Baker, professor at University of Washington, Seattle, won half for his...
Much of the world’s leading AI research occurs in the U.S., which puts American voters in a fortunate position to voice our opinions and influence its development. By extension, voters and legislators bear both the privilege and the responsibility of setting the standards — standards with global implications — on AI policy. At the same time, we must be careful not to blow our lead by exerting undue and untimely policy.
Today’s exponential growth in technology has revolutionized the way our politics, society and economy function. Some people argue that this shift has actually pushed us into a new economic system: technofeudalism.
