What makes work valuable? Michal Masny, the NC Ethics of Technology Postdoctoral Fellow in the MIT Department of Philosophy, investigates the role work plays in our lives and its impact on our well-being. Masny sees numerous benefits to work, beyond a paycheck. It’s a space for people to develop excellence at something, make a social contribution, gain […]
The Anthropic UK expansion story is less about diplomatic courtship and more about what happens when a government punishes a company for having principles. In late February, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei a stark ultimatum: remove guardrails preventing Claude from being used for fully autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance,
Anthropic’s refusal to arm AI is exactly why the UK wants it Read More »
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help optimize decision-making in high-stakes settings. For instance, an autonomous system can identify a power distribution strategy that minimizes costs while keeping voltages stable.But while these AI-driven outputs may be technically optimal, are they fair? What if a low-cost power distribution strategy leaves disadvantaged neighborhoods more vulnerable to

Large language models (LLMs) have been championed as tools that could democratize access to information worldwide, offering knowledge in a user-friendly interface regardless of a person’s background or location. However, new research from MIT’s Center for Constructive Communication (CCC) suggests these artificial intelligence systems may actually perform worse for the very users who could most

For leaders in the financial sector, the experimental phase of generative AI has concluded and the focus for 2026 is operational integration. While early adoption centred on content generation and efficiency in isolated workflows, the current requirement is to industrialise these capabilities. The objective is to create systems where AI agents do not merely assist

Many of the latest large language models (LLMs) are designed to remember details from past conversations or store user profiles, enabling these models to personalize responses.But researchers from MIT and Penn State University found that, over long conversations, such personalization features often increase the likelihood an LLM will become overly agreeable or begin mirroring the

The ETSI EN 304 223 standard introduces baseline security requirements for AI that enterprises must integrate into governance frameworks. As organisations embed machine learning into their core operations, this European Standard (EN) establishes concrete provisions for securing AI models and systems. It stands as the first globally applicable European Standard for AI cybersecurity, having secured
