A Guide to MIT's AI Resources: Empowering You to Explore and Learn

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a significant topic of discussion in various sectors, including education, business, and national defense. It’s tempting to compare AI’s rise with past tech disruptions like the .com boom, social media, and smartphones. However, AI is more akin to knowledge revolutions like written language, the printing press, and the internet. These revolutions transformed how humans create, process, store, and disseminate knowledge. AI is likely to have a similar impact.

However, the speed of tech normalization may make us underestimate AI’s significance. Drawing a parallel with the printing press, its impact unfolded over a century, contributing to the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Reformation. Similarly, AI’s state in 45 years will likely be unrecognizable from today.

Understanding AI now is crucial, especially as it emulates human cognitive, communication, and social interactions. Like previous revolutions, AI will bring both positive and negative impacts, and managing these impacts is our responsibility.

To aid understanding, the MIT Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL) has created a repository of resources from MIT on AI. It covers foundational science, future predictions, and deep dives into various areas. This resource aims to empower you to be an informed user and leader in AI. We regularly update it with new offerings to help you find what you need.

About the MIT Jameel World Education Lab

The

MIT Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL)⁠

is the world's portal to MIT's expertise in research, teaching, experimentation, and a laboratory for educational innovation. We collaborate with ambitious and committed institutions around the world to bring our shared vision to life: education designed for everyone to thrive. Our three pillars of focus — Pathways for Talent, Architecting Learning, and Campus as Catalyst — shape who we serve with our work, how we equip and empower educational institutions to make change, and how we reimagine the use of the institution’s capabilities, physical, and virtual campuses. Together with our members, we apply MIT know-how to the questions, challenges, and opportunities educational institutions are facing today to positively impact learners, educators, and society.
