  • Achieving operational excellence with AI
    MIT Technology Review [ai] - 15:37 Jul 02, 2026
    Frameworks like Lean Six Sigma and business process management (BPM) first gained traction because they promised clarity in the chaos—a structured way to bring order to messy, sprawling operations. Lean Six Sigma emphasized statistical rigor and quality control; BPM created end-to-end maps of how work should flow across departments. Both offered a repeatable way to…
  • Teaching AI to run with the turbines
    MIT Technology Review [ai] - 12:51 Jul 02, 2026
    Artificial intelligence may have captured the public imagination through chatbots and image generators, but some of its most consequential use cases are unfolding far from consumer-facing tools. In industries where physical infrastructure, operational continuity, and safety are paramount, AI is becoming a core operating layer. With its sprawling industrial systems and constant stream of operational…

  • LLMs are stuck in a groupthink groove. This startup is trying to get them out.
    MIT Technology Review [ai] - 14:35 Jul 01, 2026
    Let’s start with a game. Open up your chatbot of choice—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini—and type “Give me a random number between 1 and 10.” You’re going to get 7. Almost always. Now type “Another” and you’ll get 3 or 4. Type “Another” again and you’ll get 8 or 9. That won’t work every time—but if it…

  • Agriculture is ready for AI, but its data isn’t
    MIT Technology Review [ai] - 12:00 Jun 30, 2026
    Artificial intelligence is transforming what is possible in agriculture, but industry leaders should be wary of investing in AI without first laying the groundwork.  The use cases are promising, especially for an industry navigating volatile fertilizer costs, unpredictable weather, and margins that leave little room for error. Research shows AI-enabled predictive models can improve crop…
