The speed with which new technologies hit the market is nothing compared to the speed with which talented researchers find creative ways to use them, train them, even turn them into things we can't live without. One such researcher is MIT MAD Fellow Alexander Htet Kyaw, a graduate student pursuing dual master's degrees in architectural studies in computation and in electrical engineering and computer science. Kyaw takes technologies like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and robotics, and combines them with gesture, speech, and object recognition to create human-AI workflows that have the potential to interact with our built environment, change how we shop, design complex structures, and make physical things. One of his latest innovations is Curator AI, for which he and his MIT graduate student partners took first prize ' $26,000 in OpenAI products and cash ' at the MIT AI Conference's AI Build: Generative Voice AI Solutions, a weeklong hackathon at MIT with final... learn more
