MAIA: Interpretability Research Framework for AI Bias Detection
By
–
Given a query from the user (e.g. "Are biases present in my system?"), MAIA acts as an interpretability researcher: it generates hypotheses, designs experiments to test them, and refines its understanding through iterative analysis until it can solve the interpretability task.

MIT CSAIL Automates AI Safety Auditing With MAIA Framework
By
–
As AI models become more powerful, auditing them for safety & biases is crucial — but also challenging & labor-intensive. Can we automate and scale this process? MIT CSAIL researchers introduce "MAIA," which iteratively designs experiments to explain AI systems' behavior:
