MIT CSAIL unsealed a special time capsule from 1999 after a self-taught programmer Belgium solved a puzzle devised by MIT professor and famed cryptographer Ron Rivest.

In the advent of artificial intelligence, robots, and automation, today’s K-12 educators around the world are asking the question: “What skills do our students need to be ready for the future?”

The “Freshman Technology Experience” — a recent two-day event at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) in Cambridge, Massachusetts — brought MIT researchers into the classroom to explore just that

CSAIL team studies what email users want for better automating email — and proposes "YouPS" filtering tool.

While there’ve been several developments since then, the one-size-fits-all approach of apps like Gmail still leaves many users sifting, clicking, and separating until what can feel like the end of time.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) decided to dig deeper into people’s specific needs through a three-part study and new open-source tool that lets users write, test, and hone simple Python scripts for controlling incoming emails.

MIT placed first among all North American teams - and second globally - at the World Finals of the Association for Computing Machinery's 43rd annual International College Programming Contest (ICPC) in Porto, Portugal.

The world's most prestigious programming contest, ICPC involves 300,000 students from two thousand universities and nearly 100 countries, with only the top 128 teams earning a spot in the finals.

Algorand, an open-source software and blockchain technology company, announced today the opening of its TestNet to the public at large. After a successful private TestNet period with several hundred participants, the company is now inviting all businesses, developers and users to engage with TestNet and provide feedback on the quality, function, and overall experience of the TestNet protocol.

It was announced that MIT professor Stefanie Mueller has received a National Science Foundation Career Award, a prestigious award for junior faculty.

Four CSAIL faculty were named among the top 100 global leaders in artificial intelligence for health, according to a new report developed by a top technology think-tank.

Robert Morris has been elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is one of 86 new members announced this week and was honored “for contributions to network congestion control and to wireless communications.”
