Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT provide plausible-sounding answers to any question you might ask. But they don’t always reveal the gaps in their knowledge or areas where they’re uncertain. That problem can have huge consequences as AI systems are increasingly used to do things like develop drugs, synthesize information, and drive autonomous cars. Now, the…
As large language models (LLMs) rapidly evolve, so does their promise as powerful research assistants. Increasingly, they’re not just answering simple factual questions—they’re tackling “deep research” tasks, which involve multi-step reasoning, evaluating conflicting information, sourcing data from across the web, and synthesizing it into a coherent output. This emerging capability is now being marketed under…
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…
Why it matters: AI Breakthrough: Detecting Sleep Disorders Accurately using 92% AI precision to identify sleep apnea symptoms.
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…
LuminX, a San Francisco-based AI company redefining warehouse operations, has announced a $5.5 million seed funding round to advance its mission of embedding Vision Language Models (VLMs) directly into warehouse environments. The round, led by 1Sharpe, GTMFund, 9Yards, Chingona Ventures, and the Bond Fund, is set to accelerate the development of LuminX’s groundbreaking inventory automation…
The AI Gold Rush In 2025, we are in the midst of an AI arms race. Nearly every tech company, along with a growing number of businesses across virtually every sector – from finance, to healthcare, to manufacturing, and more – now claims to be an AI company. As generative AI tools, large language models,…
Job search always feels like a full-time job itself. On top of that, you’re stressed out by uncertainty and the lengthy, overcomplicated processes. Constantly scrolling through job listings, polishing your CV, and rewriting cover letters. Total frustration. However, this tedious but necessary routine can be eased. AI, if used properly, could also be a great…
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…
