CSAIL is the largest Interdepartmental lab at MIT with over 800 members including more than 90 Principal Investigators from 8 departments and approximately 500 students.
Many solutions to the most challenging problems of our lives, our work, and our world, therefore, are based in computation. MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) studies this vast, compelling field in an effort to unlock the secrets of human intelligence, extend the functional capabilities of machines, and explore human/machine interactions. They apply that knowledge with a long-term lens to engineer innovative solutions with global impact.
CSAIL legacy of innovation includes time sharing, public-key encryption, bit-mapped displays, workstations, networks, computer architecture, computer vision, robotics, and speech. These technological innovations have spawned nearly 100 spin-offs, such as Akamai, Ascent Technology, Bluespec, Determina, iRobot, ITA Software, Meraki, Open Market, RSA, Sandburst, Sight Path, Scalable Display, Speechworks, StreamBase, Tilera, and Vertica. Over the past four decades, CSAIL has also played a major role in standards setting, including TCP/IP, GNU, X-windows, and the Worldwide Web.
