Concern about misuse of artificial intelligence has led political leaders to consider regulating the emerging technology in ways that could limit access to AI models’ inner workings. But researchers at a group of leading universities including Princeton caution that such restriction is likely to do more harm than good.

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure.

Why? Because it’s difficult to cure what we don’t understand, and the human brain, with its billions of neurons connected by a hundred trillion synapses, is almost…

As a part of a broad set of investments around artificial intelligence, Princeton University has launched AI for Accelerating Invention, an initiative to achieve faster breakthroughs across engineering disciplines, including biomedicine, robotics and nuclear fusion.

“What we have the…

As the first generation of “AI natives,” today's college students will help set the course for how artificial intelligence affects humanity, the visionary computer scientist Fei-Fei Li told incoming Princeton transfer students and members of the Class of 2028 at Princeton’s Pre-read Assembly Sunday at Jadwin Gymnasium.

“Your generation,…

The Research & Development Council of New Jersey has recognized four Princeton Engineering researchers for their pioneering contributions to innovation.

Brian Kernighan won the Science & Technology Medal, the R&D Council’s highest honor, for his work on computer programming languages. Naveen Verma, Hongyang Jia and Hossein…

Achieving a sustained fusion reaction is a delicate balancing act, requiring a sea of moving parts to come together to maintain a high-performing plasma: one that is dense enough, hot enough, and confined for long enough for fusion to take place.

The intricate dance of atoms fusing and releasing energy has fascinated scientists for decades. Now, human ingenuity and artificial intelligence are coming together at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics…

Since the advent of fusion research, scientists have published thousands of documents on the subject — papers, conference proceedings, and even written logs from previous experiments at fusion reactors around the world. Such a wellspring of information would easily take a lifetime to read, and even longer to comprehend.

During an actual…

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy joined University President Christopher L. Eisgruber on Monday to announce plans to create an artificial intelligence innovation hub for the state, in collaboration with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

“With today’s announcement, New Jersey — alongside Princeton University — is poised to shape…

The inaugural TIME100 AI list of the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence features two current Princetonians — Arvind Narayanan, professor of computer science and director of the Center…
