That question formed the foundation of class 4.043/4.044 (Interaction Intelligence), an MIT course focused on designing a new category of AI-driven interactive objects. Known as large language objects (LLOs), these physical interfaces extend large language models into the real world. Their behaviors can be deliberately generated for specific people or applications, and their interactions can evolve from simple to increasingly sophisticated ' providing meaningful support for both novice and expert users. 'I came to the realization that, while powerful, these new forms of intelligence still remain largely ignorant of the world outside of language,' says Marcelo Coelho, associate professor of the practice in the MIT Department of Architecture, who has been teaching the design studio for several years and directs the Design Intelligence Lab. 'They lack real-time, contextual understanding of our physical surroundings, bodily experiences, and social relationships to be truly intelligent....
