AI-Enabled Control System Aids Drone Navigation

MIT researchers developed a new, machine learning-based adaptive control algorithm that could minimize deviation from intended targets in the face of unpredictable forces like gusty winds. Unlike standard approaches, the new technique doesn't require the person programming the autonomous drone to know about the structure of the disturbances. Instead, the control system’s artificial intelligence model learns all it needs to know from a small amount of observational data collected from 15 minutes of flight time.

Trump Administration Cuts 'Safety' From AI Safety Institute

The Trump administration has rebranded the U.S. AI Safety Institute, originally established by President Biden in 2023, into the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI). This shift moves away from a focus on AI safety and toward fostering innovation, because some claim that regulations have hindered technological progress. While CAISI will still evaluate AI risks, it will also prioritize voluntary industry standards and guard against foreign regulations that could limit American AI development, reflecting the administration’s broader pro-innovation stance on AI governance.
