== Research activities ==
CSAIL's research activities are organized around a number of semi-autonomous research groups, each of which is headed by one or more professors or research scientists. These groups are divided up into seven general areas of research:
* [[
* [[Computational biology]]
* [[Computer graphics|Graphics]] and [[Machine vision|vision]]
* [[Natural language processing|Language]] and [[Machine learning|learning]]
* [[Theory of computation]]
* [[Robotics]]
* Systems (includes [[computer architecture]], databases, [[Distributed computing|distributed systems]], [[Computer network|networks]] and networked systems, [[operating system]]s, programming methodology, and [[software engineering]], among others)
== History ==
Computing Research at MIT began with [[Vannevar Bush]]'s research into a [[Differential analyser|differential analyzer]] and [[Claude Shannon]]'s electronic [[Boolean algebra]] in the 1930s, the wartime [[MIT Radiation Laboratory]], the post-war [[Whirlwind I|Project Whirlwind]] and Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), and [[MIT Lincoln Laboratory]]'s [[Semi-Automatic Ground Environment|SAGE]] in the early 1950s. At MIT, research in the field of artificial intelligence began in the late 1950s.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Marvin Minsky|title=bibliography|url=https://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/minskybiog.html|access-date=2018-06-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620083529/http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/minskybiog.html|archive-date=2018-06-20|url-status=live}}</ref>
=== Project MAC ===
On July 1, 1963, Project MAC (the Project on Mathematics and Computation, later [[backronym]]ed to Multiple Access Computer, Machine Aided Cognitions, or Man and Computer) was launched with a $2 million grant from the [[DARPA|Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA). Project MAC's original director was [[Robert Fano]] of MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE). Fano decided to call MAC a "project" rather than a "laboratory" for reasons of internal MIT politics – if MAC had been called a laboratory, then it would have been more difficult to raid other MIT departments for research staff. The program manager responsible for the DARPA grant was [[J. C. R. Licklider]], who had previously been at MIT conducting research in RLE, and would later succeed Fano as director of Project MAC.
Project MAC would become famous for groundbreaking research in [[operating system]]s, [[artificial intelligence]], and the [[theory of computation]]. Its contemporaries included [[Project Genie]] at [[University of California, Berkeley|Berkeley]], the [[Stanford University centers and institutes#Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory|Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory]], and (somewhat later) [[University of Southern California]]'s (USC's) [[Information Sciences Institute]].
An "AI Group" including [[Marvin Minsky]] (the director), [[John McCarthy (computer scientist)|John McCarthy]] (inventor of [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]]), and a talented community of computer programmers were incorporated into Project MAC. They were interested principally in the problems of vision, mechanical motion and manipulation, and language, which they view as the keys to more intelligent machines. In the 1960s and 1970s the AI Group developed a [[time-sharing]] operating system called [[Incompatible Timesharing System]] (ITS) which ran on [[PDP-6]] and later [[PDP-10]] computers.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Eastlake |first=Donald E. |year=1969 |url=http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/mit/ai/aim/AIM-161A.pdf |title=ITS Reference Manual, Version 1.5 |publisher=MIT AI Laboratory |format=PDF (large) |archive-date=2022-02-19 |access-date=2022-02-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220219173047/http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/mit/ai/aim/AIM-161A.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
The early Project MAC community included Fano, Minsky, Licklider, [[Fernando J. Corbató]], and a community of computer programmers and [[Tech Model Railroad Club|enthusiasts]] among others who drew their inspiration from former colleague John McCarthy. These founders envisioned the creation of a [[utility computing|computer utility]] whose computational power would be as reliable as an electric utility. To this end, Corbató brought the first computer [[time-sharing]] system, [[Compatible Time-Sharing System]] (CTSS), with him from the MIT Computation Center, using the DARPA funding to purchase an [[IBM 7090#IBM 7094|IBM 7094]] for research use. One of the early focuses of Project MAC would be the development of a successor to CTSS, [[Multics]], which was to be the first [[high availability]] computer system, developed as a part of an industry consortium including [[General Electric]] and [[Bell Labs|Bell Laboratories]].
In 1966, ''[[Scientific American]]'' featured Project MAC in the September thematic issue devoted to computer science,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Fano |first1=R. M. |last2=Corbató |first2=F. J. |title=Time-Sharing on Computers |journal=Scientific American |date=1966 |volume=215 |issue=3 |pages=128–143 |doi=10.1038/scientificamerican0966-128 |jstor=24931051 |bibcode=1966SciAm.215c.128F |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24931051 |access-date=March 13, 2022 |issn=0036-8733 |url-access=subscription |archive-date=March 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220313035456/https://www.jstor.org/stable/24931051 |url-status=live }}</ref> that was later published in book form. At the time, the system was described as having approximately 100 TTY terminals, mostly on campus but with a few in private homes. Only 30 users could be logged in at the same time. The project enlisted students in various classes to use the terminals simultaneously in problem solving, simulations, and multi-terminal communications as tests for the multi-access computing software being developed.
=== AI Lab and LCS{{Anchor|AI Lab|LCS}} ===
In the late 1960s, Minsky's [[artificial intelligence]] group was seeking more space, and was unable to get satisfaction from project director Licklider. Minsky found that although Project MAC as a single entity could not get the additional space he wanted, he could split off to form his own laboratory and then be entitled to more office space. As a result, the MIT AI Lab was formed in 1970, and many of Minsky's AI colleagues left Project MAC to join him in the new laboratory, while most of the remaining members went on to form the Laboratory for Computer Science. Talented programmers such as [[Richard Stallman]], who used [[TECO (text editor)|TECO]] to develop [[Emacs|EMACS]], flourished in the AI Lab during this time.
Those researchers who did not join the smaller AI Lab formed the Laboratory for Computer Science and continued their research into [[operating system]]s, [[programming language]]s, [[Distributed computing|distributed system]]s, and the [[theory of computation]]. Two professors, [[Hal Abelson]] and [[Gerald Jay Sussman]], chose to remain neutral—their group was referred to variously as Switzerland and Project MAC for the next 30 years.{{Citation needed|date=December 2007}}
Among much else, the AI Lab led to the invention of [[Lisp machine]]s and their attempted [[commercialization]] by two companies in the 1980s: [[Symbolics]] and [[Lisp Machines|Lisp Machines Inc]]. This divided the AI Lab into "camps" which resulted in a hiring away of many of the talented programmers. The incident inspired Richard Stallman's later work on the [[GNU Project]]. "Nobody had envisioned that the AI lab's hacker group would be wiped out, but it was." ... "That is the basis for the free software movement—the experience I had, the life that I've lived at the MIT AI lab—to be working on human knowledge, and not be standing in the way of anybody's further using and further disseminating human knowledge".<ref>[https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.html Transcript of Richard Stallman's Speech] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416180457/https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.html |date=2014-04-16 }}, 28 October 2002, at the International Lisp Conference, from gnu.org, accessed September 2012</ref>
=== CSAIL ===
On the fortieth anniversary of Project MAC's establishment, July 1, 2003, LCS was merged with the AI Lab to form the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or CSAIL. This merger created the largest laboratory (over 600 personnel) on the MIT campus<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is CSAIL? |url=https://mitadmissions.org/help/faq/csail/ |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=MIT Admissions |language=en-US}}</ref> and was regarded as a reuniting of the diversified elements of Project MAC.{{According to whom|date=January 2019}}
In 2018, CSAIL launched a five-year collaboration program with [[IFlytek]], a company sanctioned the following year for allegedly using its technology for surveillance and [[persecution of Uyghurs in China|human rights abuses in Xinjiang]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.mit.edu/2018/csail-launches-five-year-collaboration-with-iflytek-0615|title=CSAIL launches new five-year collaboration with iFlyTek|last=Conner-Simons|first=Adam|date=June 15, 2018|work=MIT News|access-date=November 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190928083305/http://news.mit.edu/2018/csail-launches-five-year-collaboration-with-iflytek-0615|archive-date=September 28, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang-mit-tech-insight/risky-partner-top-u-s-universities-took-funds-from-chinese-firm-tied-to-xinjiang-security-idUSKCN1TE04M|title=Risky partner: Top U.S. universities took funds from Chinese firm tied to Xinjiang security|last=Harney|first=Alexandra|date=June 13, 2019|access-date=November 9, 2019|work=[[Reuters]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109062644/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang-mit-tech-insight/risky-partner-top-u-s-universities-took-funds-from-chinese-firm-tied-to-xinjiang-security-idUSKCN1TE04M|archive-date=November 9, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade-war/US-sanctions-8-China-tech-companies-over-role-in-Xinjiang-abuses|title=US sanctions 8 China tech companies over role in Xinjiang abuses|date=October 8, 2019|work=[[The Nikkei]]|access-date=November 9, 2019|agency=[[Reuters]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109032331/https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade-war/US-sanctions-8-China-tech-companies-over-role-in-Xinjiang-abuses|archive-date=November 9, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/expanded-u-s-trade-blacklist-hits-beijings-artificial-intelligence-ambitions-11570541277|title=Expanded U.S. Trade Blacklist Hits Beijing's Artificial-Intelligence Ambitions|last1=Strumpf|first1=Dan|date=October 8, 2019|work=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|access-date=November 9, 2019|last2=Kubota|first2=Yoko|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191108234117/https://www.wsj.com/articles/expanded-u-s-trade-blacklist-hits-beijings-artificial-intelligence-ambitions-11570541277|archive-date=November 8, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> In October 2019, MIT announced that it would review its partnerships with sanctioned firms such as iFlyTek and [[SenseTime]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://apnews.com/02389b0a8e2f4e88ae8dd8b429c07be2|title=MIT reviews partnerships with blacklisted Chinese tech firms|date=October 11, 2019|access-date=November 9, 2019|work=[[Associated Press]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109064658/https://apnews.com/02389b0a8e2f4e88ae8dd8b429c07be2|archive-date=November 9, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Vadym |first1=Slyusar |title=Artificial Intelligence |url=https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R45178.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607024418/https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R45178.pdf |archive-date=7 June 2021 |access-date=6 June 2025 |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> In April 2020, the agreement with iFlyTek was terminated.<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Knight|first=Will|url=https://www.wired.com/story/mit-cuts-ties-chinese-ai-firm-human-rights/|title=MIT Cuts Ties With a Chinese AI Firm Amid Human Rights Concerns|date=2020-04-21|magazine=Wired|access-date=2020-04-22|url-status=live|language=en|issn=1059-1028|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200421191904/https://www.wired.com/story/mit-cuts-ties-chinese-ai-firm-human-rights/|archive-date=2020-04-21}}</ref>
CSAIL moved from the School of Engineering to the newly formed [[Schwarzman College of Computing]] by February 2020.<ref name="auto"/>
== Offices ==
From 1963 to 2004, Project MAC, LCS, the AI Lab, and CSAIL had their offices at 545 [[Technology Square (Cambridge, Massachusetts)|Technology Square]], taking over more and more floors of the building over the years. In 2004, CSAIL moved to the new [[Stata Center|Ray and Maria Stata Center]], which was built specifically to house it and other departments.
== Outreach activities ==
The IMARA (from [[Swahili language|Swahili]] word for "power") group sponsors a variety of outreach programs that bridge the [[Digital divide#Global digital divide|global digital divide]]. Its aim is to find and implement long-term, sustainable solutions which will increase the availability of educational technology and resources to domestic and international communities. These projects are run under the aegis of CSAIL and staffed by MIT volunteers who give training, install and donate computer setups in greater [[Boston, Massachusetts]], [[Kenya]], [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American Indian]] [[Indian reservation|tribal reservations]] in the [[Southwestern United States|American Southwest]] such as the [[Navajo Nation]], the [[Middle East]], and [[Fiji|Fiji Islands]]. The CommuniTech project strives to empower under-served communities through sustainable technology and education and does this through the MIT Used Computer Factory (UCF), providing refurbished computers to under-served families, and through the Families Accessing Computer Technology (FACT) classes, it trains those families to become familiar and comfortable with computer technology.<ref name="OUTREACH">[http://www.csail.mit.edu/ Outreach activities at CSAIL] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100602020907/http://www.csail.mit.edu/node/34 |date=2010-06-02}} - CSAIL homepage, MIT.</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://imara.csail.mit.edu/ |title=IMARA Project at MIT |access-date=2010-08-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100607071526/http://imara.csail.mit.edu/ |archive-date=2010-06-07 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Citation | last1=Fizz | first1=Robyn | last2=Mansur | first2=Karla | title=Helping MIT neighbors cross the 'digital divide' | newspaper=MIT Tech Talk | date=2008-06-04 | publisher=Cambridge: MIT | url=http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/techtalk52-28.pdf | pages=3 | access-date=2010-08-19 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206074300/http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/techtalk52-28.pdf | archive-date=2011-02-06 | url-status=live }}</ref>
