Perez ’13, MNG ’14, PhD ’23, who is also an MIT research scientist. “You can’t divorce these things from each other. We’re not here just to build homes, and we’re not here just to recycle plastic. The conventional way of building homes involves cutting down trees, mining, refining, and a bunch of other dirty activities.

Chinese EV maker XPeng wants to shed the cheap, mass-market image that “Made in China” has often carried 10 years after three co-founders registered a small EV startup in Guangzhou—one so cash-strapped it couldn’t even afford a proper brand name, and ended up borrowing chairman He Xiaopeng’s own surname instead—XPeng is trying to pull off something much harder than building a car people want to buy in China. It’s trying to convince the rest of the world to want one too, in a market where “Made in China” hasn’t always meant premium. Singapore is one of the newest stops on…

The same expansion brought an equally persistent question — whether safeguards, privacy rules, and regulators can keep up. Top news AI agents expand their reach — and their risks Frontier AI development faced renewed scrutiny after former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon left Anthropic, warning that leading laboratories are moving toward self-improving superintelligence before reliable controls are available. The Anthropic researcher’s departure and AI…

The next phase of artificial intelligence in legal technology will not be defined by a better chatbot or a faster document-summarization tool. It will be defined by whether AI systems can take responsibility for real work that unfolds over days or weeks, spans multiple systems and communication channels, and returns control to an attorney at the moments when human judgment matters most. Supio is building toward this next operating model using long-horizon agents. The vision is much larger than automating individual steps in a personal-injury case; it aims to create an intelligent operating layer for the firm. This system understands…
