For the past several weeks, headlines have been screaming about the looming threat and potential impact of U.S. import tariffs being imposed on semiconductors. Truthfully, I don’t think implementation of these tariffs will ever happen because they would result in such significant supply chain disruption, the nasty effects of which are still all too fresh […]

For weeks, the whiteboard in the lab was crowded with scribbles, diagrams, and chemical formulas. A research team across the Olivetti Group and the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) was working intensely on a key problem: How can we reduce the amount of cement in concrete to save on costs and emissions?  The question was […]

When you’re trying to communicate or understand ideas, words don’t always do the trick. Sometimes the more efficient approach is to do a simple sketch of that concept — for example, diagramming a circuit might help make sense of how the system works. But what if artificial intelligence could help us explore these visualizations? While […]

The finance industry has always valued speed and precision. Historically, these characteristics depended wholly on human foresight and spreadsheet sorcery. The emergence of autonomous AI agents is poised to fundamentally transform this landscape. AI agents are already widely employed across industries: to automate customer service, write code, and screen interview candidates. But Wall Street? That’s […]

Every year, thousands of students take courses that teach them how to deploy artificial intelligence models that can help doctors diagnose disease and determine appropriate treatments. However, many of these courses omit a key element: training students to detect flaws in the training data used to develop the models. Leo Anthony Celi, a senior research […]

Today’s classrooms are changing fast because of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI agents are now part of how teaching and learning happen. They do more than automate tasks. These agents help teachers provide personal support and give students feedback that fits their own learning style. Kira Learning is a platform leading this change. It uses AI […]

Have you ever stared at an empty room and felt overwhelmed by the possibilities? Most of us can picture our dream space in our minds, but turning that vision into reality is where things get tricky. That’s why over 18 million people have turned to Homestyler, a powerful home design tool that makes planning, decorating, and […]

Scientific research has traditionally been a slow and careful process. Scientists spend years testing ideas and doing experiments. They read thousands of papers and try to connect different pieces of knowledge. This approach has worked for a long time but usually takes years to complete. Today, the world faces urgent problems like climate change and […]

Industrial companies are sitting on a predictive maintenance goldmine worth hundreds of millions in potential savings, yet most struggle to expand beyond successful pilots. The pattern is distressingly familiar: A team implements predictive maintenance for a critical asset, proves the value with impressive projected ROI metrics, then hits an insurmountable wall when trying to scale across […]
