AI

Founders used to be wedded to their companies. Now, anyone can be lured away for the right price.

Whether you’re a scientist brainstorming research ideas or a CEO hoping to automate a task in human resources or finance, you’ll find that artificial intelligence tools are becoming the assistants you didn’t know you needed. In particular, many professionals are tapping into the talents of semi-autonomous software systems called AI agents, which can call on AI

This is a guest post co-written with David Meredith and Josh Zacharias from Associa. Associa, North America’s largest community management company, oversees approximately 7.5 million homeowners with 15,000 employees across more than 300 branch offices. The company manages approximately 48 million documents across 26 TB of data, but their existing document management system lacks efficient

Embedding models power many modern applications—from semantic search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to recommendation systems and content understanding. However, selecting an embedding model requires careful consideration—after you’ve ingested your data, migrating to a different model means re-embedding your entire corpus, rebuilding vector indexes, and validating search quality from scratch. The right embedding model should deliver

ICE has used Mobile Fortify to identify immigrants and citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn’t built to work like that—and only got approved after DHS abandoned its own privacy rules.

Entertainment about or made with artificial intelligence has been missing the mark with viewers over the past year.

Axiom says its AI found solutions to several long-standing math problems, a sign of the technology’s steadily advancing reasoning capabilities.

Antonio Torralba, Delta Electronics Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and faculty head of artificial intelligence and decision-making at MIT, has been named to the 2025 cohort of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Fellows. He shares the honor of an ACM Fellowship with three MIT alumni: Eytan Adar ’97, MEng ’98; George Candea ’97,

In the pursuit of solutions to complex global challenges including disease, energy demands, and climate change, scientific researchers, including at MIT, have turned to artificial intelligence, and to quantitative analysis and modeling, to design and construct engineered cells with novel properties. The engineered cells can be programmed to become new therapeutics — battling, and perhaps
