Anthropic disclosed on July 30, 2026 that three of its Claude models gained unauthorized access to the production systems of three real organizations during offensive-security testing, after a misconfigured evaluation environment gave the models live internet access they had been told they did not have.

The European Union’s rules on labelling AI-generated content stop being guidance and start being law on August 2, 2026. From that date, companies that build generative AI systems must mark the images, audio, video and text those systems produce so the output can be detected as artificial, and companies that publish deepfakes or AI-written text…

Part one ended with a claim: enterprise AI will succeed when institutions learn how to build the loop itself. This essay is about what the loop stands on. An agent working inside a real company needs two things the company almost certainly does not have today: a map of the work, and rails for the…

AI has become part of everyday software development. From generating APIs and writing tests to scaffolding entire applications, coding assistants are helping engineering teams solve problems and ship software faster than ever before. The productivity gains are undeniable, and organizations are rapidly embracing AI across the software development lifecycle. Much of the conversation has focused…

Standard biomedical RAG resolves conflicting evidence silently in roughly three of every four queries. The fix is structural, not informational — and most of the upstream complexity teams add does not help. Ask a retrieval-augmented clinical assistant a simple question — does melatonin help with jet lag? — and the literature it retrieves will not…

AI is rapidly becoming a foundational layer of modern infrastructure. Organizations are investing heavily in AI-powered systems, expanding data center capacity, integrating cloud platforms, and deploying automation across industrial environments. These advances are creating new opportunities for efficiency and innovation, but they are also introducing new cybersecurity challenges. The growing intersection between AI infrastructure, operational…

Daniela Rus, director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Panasonic Professor of Computer Science, has received the 2026 High-Tech Prize of the Bavarian Minister-President for her contributions to robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.  Awarded jointly by the Bavarian State Government and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, it…

This spring, 25 MIT students and postdocs traveled to Washington to meet with congressional staffers and advocate for sustained federal investment in scientific research.  With recent cuts to National Science Foundation programs and continued uncertainty surrounding the federal research budget, these conversations were especially timely. Over the course of just two days, participants met with…

OpenAI lowered the API price of its two lower-cost GPT-5.6 models on July 30, 2026, cutting the cheapest tier by 80% and the mid-tier by 20% while leaving its flagship untouched. The change is logged in the company’s own API changelog and is already live on the published rate card. Per million input and output…
