The world needs more homes. The world also has too much plastic. Perhaps the only thing those two problems have in common is that they’re hard to solve. Atlas Building Composites, a spinout of MIT, is on a mission to address both problems with a single solution. The company has developed an AI-powered robotic manufacturing…
MIT researchers have developed a new technique that helps generative artificial intelligence models find solutions to high-stakes problems. In these settings, a plausible answer is not enough: The output often must also satisfy nonnegotiable safety, physical, or task-specific requirements, known as hard constraints. The researchers developed a method that helps generative models meet these strict…
Microsoft chairman and chief executive officer Satya Nadella announced on September 13, 2026 that the company will publish a “Code of Conduct” underlying its first-party MAI models the following day for public consultation, in a post on X that welcomed “deliberate pacing” on AI alignment.
