Self-driving cars sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver or passenger may need to react rapidly to prevent a collision.

To help humans better anticipate a vehicle’s mistakes, researchers from MIT and autonomous vehicle technology company Motional developed a new method that provides clear explanations of the underlying model’s decisions. https://t.co/ANpwuqvN5W

In a new Boston Globe Opinion essay, MIT President Emeritus L. Rafael Reif calls for a simple, globally understood “moral floor” for AI: principles that keep people in ultimate control and prohibit deception, harm, exploitation, and evasion of human oversight. https://t.co/3JrDpHwhmG

To keep track of what’s going on in front of it, the brain relies not only on what it sees, but also a comparison with what it just saw. A new study pinpoints the circuit that provides that service. https://t.co/4IymG4CgEV
