Researchers from Northeastern University, M.I.T., and IBM Research have collaborated on a project to create T-shirts that allow wearers to evade facial recognition systems. 

In the UK, the private New College of the Humanities, which opened in 2012, offers degrees in a mixture of liberal arts subjects, although it has grown slowly and was acquired earlier this year by the Boston-based Northeastern University.

In celebration of the publication’s sesquicentennial, Mauro Martino—scientist, artist, and professor of practice at Northeastern University—designed a unique cover that draws upon his work with data visualization to render the journal’s work as an interconnected network.

The overall number of students killed in shootings at schools is down from the early 1990s to about 0.15 per million in 2014-2015, according to researchers at Northeastern University. 

But in a world where deepfakes are cheap and easy, videos — no longer constrained by the physics of light — will carry less information than they once did, argues Don Fallis, a philosophy professor at Northeastern University.

“The core of the First Amendment really is protecting political speech,” said Claudia Haupt, an associate professor of law and political science at Northeastern University.

A pioneering centre aimed at preserving and re-creating people’s voices using artificial intelligence has opened in the US, with researchers hoping it will change the lives of people who face losing their ability to speak. Researchers say the venture – a joint effort between Northeastern University in Boston and the company VocaliD – could play […]

“Pennsylvania is ground zero for these kinds of prosecutions,” said Leo Beletsky, a public health law professor at Northeastern and vocal critic of drug-induced homicide laws who helped host the training. National data, he says, belies much of the prosecutorial narrative surrounding these laws.

A team of researchers from Northeastern University, IBM, and MIT developed a T-shirt design that hides the wearer from image recognition systems by confusing the algorithms trying to spot people into thinking they’re invisible.

Sean Gallagher, executive director of the Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy at Northeastern University, who studies these trends, predicted that the future of how the master’s degree is sold and consumed might mirror the how the recorded music industry moved through the first two decades of the 21st century.

Northeastern University also maintains an interactive map of PFAS contamination in the U.S.

“People have potentially been exposed, but we can no longer reconstruct the effect,” said David Lazer, a professor of political science and computer and information science at Northeastern University. “It’s bad for two reasons — not just the accountability of Google but also the accountability of the Trump campaign, which can do more with impunity.”
