Health officials said this week that an AI receptionist has begun handling patient calls, with the goal to cut queues and speed up patient care. The system is being rolled
You have likely seen this movie already. A promising generative AI pilot lights up a demo, leadership gets excited, and suddenly there is pressure to “AI-enable” every workflow. Six months
Australian teenagers are preparing to challenge a proposed law that would block those under 16 from social media, setting up a clash over youth rights, online safety, and enforcement. The
Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have outlined a new way to build software by separating programs into clear parts and rules. The approach breaks code into
