MIT媒体实验室研究员Joy Buolamwini于2018年发布了Gender Shades项目
MIT Media Lab scholar Sherry Turkle observed the anthropomorphization phenomenon in the age of social robots and proposed the concept of 'alone together'.
The MIT Media Lab has long focused on the theory of "constructionist learning," which holds that children learn most effectively by building things with their own hands.
The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) initiative was championed by Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the MIT Media Lab.
The concept of context-aware computing was first proposed by Schilit et al. at the MIT Media Lab in 1994.
E Ink Corporation was spun out of the MIT Media Lab, founded in 1997, acquired in 2009 by E Ink Holdings under Taiwan's Yuen Foong Yu Group, and controls over 90% of the global electronic paper market
MIT Media Lab professor Sherry Turkle documented in Alone Together how children perceive anthropomorphized robots as living beings, and that children's emotional projection is significantly enhanced when a machine simultaneously possesses autonomous movement, environmental responsiveness, and human-like emotional expression.
Research from MIT Media Lab indicates that human improvisational humor relies heavily on 'Embodied Cognition,' meaning that bodily experience and perception of the physical world directly participate in the cognitive process.
Research from the MIT Media Lab indicates that global screen time increased by more than 30% on average following the pandemic.
