The Internet has always been a space for free expression, collaboration, and the open exchange of ideas. However, with persistent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), AI-powered web crawlers have started transforming the digital world. These bots, deployed by major AI companies, crawl the Web, collecting vast amounts of data, from articles and images to videos […]

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, a new organization has emerged to address one of the most profound and complex questions of our time: Can machines become sentient? The Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines (PRISM) officially launched on March 17, 2025 as the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated to investigating […]

As director of the MIT BioMicro Center (BMC), Stuart Levine ’97 wholeheartedly embraces the variety of challenges he tackles each day. One of over 50 core facilities providing shared resources across the Institute, the BMC supplies integrated high-throughput genomics, single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis, bioinformatics support, and data management to researchers across MIT. “Every day […]

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a series of groundbreaking advancements in AI computing capabilities at the company’s GTC March 2025 keynote, describing what he called a “$1 trillion computing inflection point.” The keynote revealed the production readiness of the Blackwell GPU architecture, a multi-year roadmap for future architectures, major breakthroughs in AI networking, new enterprise […]

Don’t be too scared of the AI bears. They are wondering aloud if the big boom in AI investment already came and went, if a lot of market excitement and spending on massive AI training systems powered by multitudes of high-performance GPUs has played itself out, and if expectations for the AI era should be […]

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress in generating human-like text, translating languages, and answering complex queries. However, despite their impressive capabilities, LLMs primarily operate by predicting the next word or token based on preceding words. This approach limits their ability for deeper understanding, logical reasoning, and maintaining long-term coherence in […]

The ability for machine learning systems to recognize the events that occur inside a video is crucial to the future of AI-based video generation – not least because video datasets require accurate captions in order to produce models that adhere to a user’s request, and that do not excessively hallucinate. An example of a captioning […]

Ben Vinson III, president of Howard University, made a compelling call for artificial intelligence to be “developed with wisdom,” as he delivered MIT’s annual Karl Taylor Compton Lecture on campus Monday.  The broad-ranging talk posed a series of searching questions about our human ideals and practices, and was anchored in the view that, as Vinson […]

The quantum arms race is no longer just a battle over technology, it’s a battle over perception. For years, the narrative around quantum computing has been clouded by skepticism, fueled by early hype that outpaced delivery. Industry leaders like Jensen Huang have reinforced the idea that practical quantum computing is decades away. While you can’t […]
