Did you know the original Claude — the chatbot’s namesake, according to Anthropic lore — was a renowned MIT professor? Claude Shannon SM ’40, PhD ’40, who taught at MIT from 1956 until his retirement in 1978, was known to many as the father of information theory and of modern digital communications.

AI is already reshaping scientific research, according to an MIT & Google study. Scientists use LLMs & specialized AI models for different tasks, save ~7 hours a week, & reinvest much of that time in research — but new bottlenecks are emerging: bit.ly/3UT2G7Q
