Computing research at MIT began with Vannevar Bush’s research into a differential analyzer and Claude Shannon’s electronic Boolean algebra in the 1930s, the wartime MIT Radiation Laboratory, the post-war Project Whirlwind and Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), and MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s SAGE in the early 1950s. At MIT, research in the field of artificial intelligence began in late 1950s.
MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory pioneers new research in computing that improves the way people work, play, and learn.
MIT focus on developing fundamentally new technologies, conducting basic research that furthers the field of computing, and inspiring and educating future generations of scientists and technologists.
With more than 60 research groups working on hundreds of diverse projects, researchers focus on discovering novel ways to make systems and machines smarter, easier to use, more secure, and more efficient.
Already a major part of everyday life, computing will become more and more integrated into the human experience over the next 50 years. CSAIL will be a driver of this change, attracting brilliant, original thinkers who will dream up technological advances that truly improve human collective existence.
