We are heartbroken to learn of Ursula von Rydingsvard's death. SCIENTIA is more than sculpture to us. A gift from Lore Harp McGovern to MIT's Public Art Collection, it is part of our identity, a towering welcome to all who come through our entrance. 🌺

Full conversation with @charleshurt on @FoxNews: AI risk, who answers when a system causes harm, and what winning the AI race should mean for American families. youtu.be/GenM7yV5mBg

Whoever wins AI wins. The President is right. But winning has to show up in a paycheck, a small business that can compete, and a doctor with better tools. If AI makes a few companies rich and millions of families less secure, America hasn't won.

Leaving the hospital is rarely the end of a patient’s care. It is often the case that a family member takes on the work of recovery without the training they need. @NooraHealth is working with health systems to change that.

A month ago, AGI House builders got early‑access hands‑on with Inworld’s latest TTS model. It’s now officially GA! Hear all the details in our new podcast episode ↓
@KylanGibbs is the CEO and co-founder of @inworld , and previously worked as a product manager on early LLM and text-to-speech efforts at Google and DeepMind. After watching that technology land almost exclusively in enterprise use cases, he set out to build the infrastructure that would let consumer-facing AI actually reach everyone.
In this conversation with @jelares (CTO of AGI House), Kylan breaks down why voice is quickly becoming the default interface for AI, what it actually takes to serve that experience to millions of users, and why Inworld chose to build an end-to-end stack rather than stitching together providers.

Every contract carries a climate cost. A building lease or supply chain agreement can shape emissions for years. Ben Metz and The Chancery Lane Project use AI to rewrite those clauses. Read: medium.com/@PatrickJMcGovern…?
