Exploring AI to advance
research, innovation,
and education

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) suffers from several types of biases that reflect human failings. How can we avoid being tricked?

The vast majority of students now use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) programs on a regular basis. Can teachers get students past the principle of least effort and turn these programs into educational tools?

Autonomous mobility already exists… to some extent. Building an autonomous vehicle that can safely navigate an empty highway is one thing. The real challenge lies in adapting to the dynamic and messy reality of urban environments.

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

EPFL researchers have discovered key ‘units’ in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain’s language system. When these specific units were turned off, the models got much worse at language tasks.

EPFL’s Center for Learning Sciences (LEARN) is releasing Utop’IA, an educational graphic novel that explores the environmental impact of artificial intelligence. The book, developed in association with author and illustrator Herji, will be launched at a public event at the Rolex Learning Center at 6:30pm on Tuesday, 20 May.
