MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium brings together industry leaders and MIT top minds to address social impacts of generative AI and big language models (LLMs).
The Consortium vision is rooted in MIT's core mission pushing forward newer and more efficient models, guiding their development, and impact on the world.
The Consortium is founded on three pivotal questions: How can AI-human collaboration create outcomes that neither could achieve alone? What is the dynamic between AI systems and human behavior? How can interdisciplinary research guide the development of better, safer AI technologies that improve human life?
Six founding members of the consortium are Analog Devices, The Coca-Cola Co., OpenAI, Tata Group, SK Telecom, and TWG Global who will work hand-in-hand with MIT researchers to accelerate breakthroughs and address industry-shaping problems.
The core of the consortium’s mission is collaboration—bringing MIT researchers and industry partners together to unlock generative AI’s potential while ensuring its benefits are felt across society.
One of the consortium's core goals is to guide the change in a way that benefits both businesses and society by educating global business leaders and employees on the evolving uses and applications of AI.
Participants share a common goal of advancing generative AI for broad societal benefit. Success within the initiative is defined by shared progress, open innovation, and mutual growth.
The consortium aims to prepare the workforce of tomorrow. When the first commercial digital computers were introduced, people were worried about losing their jobs. The consortium aims to help reduce the fear of missing out (FOMO) for leaders.
Generative AI is no longer confined to isolated research labs- it's driving innovation across industries and disciplines. MIT promotes this technology by connecting researchers, students, and industry leaders solving complex challenges.
The MIT Generative AI Association is one of many pushes towards changing perception about AI. In a world of robots and new technology, having a platform to discuss and learn is critical to leveraging AI for the greatest possible benefit.
