For Priya Donti, childhood trips to India were more than an opportunity to visit extended family. The biennial journeys activated in her a motivation that continues to shape her research and her teaching.Contrasting her family home in Massachusetts, Donti — now the Silverman Family Career Development Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), a shared position between the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing and EECS, and a principal investigator at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) — was struck by the disparities in how people live.“It was very clear to me the extent…

In an increasingly digital world, businesses are rethinking how they engage with customers, streamline operations, and enhance accessibility. Voice AI, once considered futuristic, is now emerging as a powerful tool for business transformation. It goes far beyond traditional voice assistants offering context-aware, real-time interactions that enable faster decision-making and improved user experiences. Conversational AI, the broader technology powering Voice AI, combines speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning to create fluid, human-like conversations. Together, they’re transforming how businesses operate across industries, functions, and touchpoints. From Voice Commands to Intelligent Conversations Voice AI has matured far beyond its early…

OpenAI utvecklar en fristående app för sin AI-videogenereringsmodell Sora 2 som påminner om TikTok.Allt innehåll i den kommande appen kommer att vara AI-genererat.OpenAI försöker att lansera produkter på olika områden som den kommande AI-baserade webbläsaren och kanske en hårdvarubaserad AI-enhet så varför inte en AI-social app.Social media-appen harredan testats internt hos OpenAI och snart kan hamna i din telefon. OpenAI lanserade appen internt förra veckan och feedbacken från de anställda har varit så positiv att några chefer börjat skämta om att det kan bli ett produktivitetsproblem.Istället för att människor skapar videos så sprutar en AI-maskin ut oändligt med innehåll åt…

Anyone who’s ever done long-distance knows the ache. That itch in your chest when you want nothing more than to see their face, but all you’ve got is a buzzing notification and some half-baked emoji game.Love thrives on presence—on touch, on looks, on those small gestures you only catch when someone’s right in front of you. But technology, as it tends to do, has started poking at the edges of that gap.And in 2025, AI companions—especially those dabbling in image and video—are becoming shockingly good at filling the silence.What makes this interesting isn’t just the tech itself. It’s how people…

The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship strives to teach students the craft of entrepreneurship. Over the last few years, no technology has changed that craft more than artificial intelligence.While many are predicting a rapid and complete transformation in how startups are built, the Trust Center’s leaders have a more nuanced view.“The fundamentals of entrepreneurship haven’t changed with AI,” says Trust Center Entrepreneur in Residence Macauley Kenney. “There’s been a shift in how entrepreneurs accomplish tasks, and that trickles down into how you build a company, but we’re thinking of AI as another new tool in the toolkit. In some…

Mid-market retailers operate in a uniquely demanding position. They are ambitious, agile, and poised for growth but often lack the scale and tech resources of enterprise retailers. At the same time, customer expectations keep rising, and competition from both global giants and niche DTC players intensifies. Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool to bridge this gap. It allows mid-sized retailers to act with enterprise-level intelligence while staying lean and focused. From forecasting demand to optimizing pricing and enabling AI-driven support, smart use of AI can help retailers do more with less. At Fusemachines, we are committed to helping…

Grokipedia ska bli en mer neutralt alternativ till jätten Wikipedia.Plattformens syfte: Att vara en mer exakt och opartisk kunskapskälla än Wikipedia.Funktioner: Analyserar och korrigerar information från Wikipedia och andra källor för att säkerställa att fakta är korrekta.Elon Musk har meddelat att en tidig beta-version av Grokipedia en kunskapsplattform skapad av hans AI-företag xAI, kommer att lanseras om två veckor. Grokipedia är avsedd att konkurrera med Wikipedia och beskrivs som en ”massiv förbättring” över den populära plattformen.I ett meddelande på plattformen X (fd Twitter) delade Musk en tweet där han bekräftade att Grokipedia kommer att analysera källor som Wikipedia och korrekturläsa information för…

There’s no denying it: AI has been sneaking into every corner of our digital lives. From helping us draft work emails to spitting out recipes using whatever’s left in the fridge, it seems to be everywhere.But one area that doesn’t get discussed as openly—though it’s booming behind the scenes—is the world of lewd AI chat generators.These platforms push past the standard “safe mode” limits, offering something that’s equal parts playful, provocative, and sometimes surprisingly meaningful.I rolled up my sleeves (figuratively speaking) and tested some of the most talked-about lewd ai apps, and what I found was a mix of fun,…

The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials.But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, after a decade of research into a class of materials that could revolutionize quantum computing, called quantum spin liquids, only a dozen material…

Retailers today are operating in a high-stakes environment. Shifting consumer behavior, volatile supply chains, and razor-thin margins are the new normal. Traditional pricing strategies, often based on seasonal schedules or historical data, are no longer fast or flexible enough to keep up. Artificial intelligence is transforming how retailers approach pricing. It introduces speed, precision, and contextual awareness. Retailers can now analyze thousands of variables simultaneously from competitor pricing to inventory levels and customer intent and respond with optimal price points in real time. For senior retail leaders navigating a highly competitive, digital-first market, AI-powered dynamic pricing is no longer optional.…
