Coming soon: 10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now
Each year we compile our 10 Breakthrough Technologies list, featuring our educated predictions for which technologies will have the biggest impact on how we live and work. This year, however, we had a dilemma. While our final picks encompass all our core coverage areas (energy, AI, and biotech, plus a few more), our 2026 list was harder to wrangle than normal. Why?
I checked out one of the biggest anti-AI protests yet
An older man wearing a sandwich board that read “AI? Over my dead body” told me he was concerned about the negative impact of AI on society: “It’s about the dangers of unemployment,” he said. “The devil finds work for idle hands.” This is all familiar stuff. Researchers have long called out the harms, both real and hypothetical, caused by generative AI—especially models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google DeepMind’s Gemini.
El astronauta que entrena a los turistas de la primera estación espacial comercial
Durante décadas, las estaciones espaciales han estado tripuladas en gran medida por astronautas profesionales y operadas por un puñado de naciones. Pero eso está a punto de cambiar en los próximos años, a medida que empresas como Axiom Space y Sierra Space lancen estaciones espaciales comerciales que alojarán turistas y ofrecerán instalaciones de investigación para países y otras compañías.
Google DeepMind wants to know if chatbots are just virtue signaling
In short, the appearance of moral behavior in LLMs should not be taken at face value. Models must be probed to see how robust that moral behavior really is. “For people to trust the answers, you need to know how you got there,” says Haas. What Haas, Isaac, and their colleagues at Google DeepMind propose is a new line of research to develop more rigorous techniques for evaluating moral competence in LLMs. This would include tests designed to push models to change their responses to moral questions.
What we’ve been getting wrong about AI’s truth crisis
This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox first, sign up here. What would it take to convince you that the era of truth decay we were long warned about—where AI content dupes us, shapes our beliefs even when we catch the lie, and erodes societal trust in the process—is now here? A story I published last week pushed me over the edge.
Astronauta treina turistas para voar na primeira estação espacial comercial do mundo
Por décadas, as estações espaciais foram, em grande parte, ocupadas por astronautas profissionais e operadas por um punhado de nações. Mas isso está prestes a mudar, à medida que empresas como Axiom Space e Sierra Space lançam estações espaciais comerciais que receberão turistas e fornecerão instalações de pesquisa para nações e outras empresas. A primeira delas pode ser a Haven-1, que a empresa californiana Vast pretende lançar em maio de 2026.
Inside the marketplace powering bespoke AI deepfakes of real women
Civitai automatically tags bounties requesting deepfakes and lists a way for the person featured in the content to manually request its takedown. This system means that Civitai has a reasonably successful way of knowing which bounties are for deepfakes, but it’s still leaving moderation to the general public rather than carrying it out proactively. A company’s legal liability for what its users do isn’t totally clear.

The astronaut training tourists to fly in the world’s first commercial space station
For decades, space stations have been largely staffed by professional astronauts and operated by a handful of nations. But that’s about to change in the coming years, as companies including Axiom Space and Sierra Space launch commercial space stations that will host tourists and provide research facilities for nations and other firms. The first of those stations could be Haven-1, which the California-based company Vast aims to launch in early 2027.

Its commercial success is very much an open question, but the Vision Pro is no doubt a breakthrough device, with a display radically better than any that has come before.
5 cosas que no hemos incluido en nuestra lista de 10 tecnologías revolucionarias de 2024
Nadie puede predecir el futuro, pero en MIT Technology Review pasamos gran parte de nuestro tiempo pensando en qué podría depararnos. Sabemos que es especialmente difícil hacer predicciones sobre tecnología, pues la mayoría de las tecnologías emergentes fracasan o se desvanecen. Algunas empiezan como dispositivos de consumo, pero acaban encontrando su nicho en aplicaciones más especializadas. Sólo unas pocas se convierten en nombres conocidos.

5 things we didn’t put on our 2024 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies
No one can predict the future, but here at MIT Technology Review we spend much of our time thinking about what it might hold. One thing we know is that it’s especially hard to make predictions about technology. Most emerging technologies fizzle or flame out. Some start out as consumer devices but wind up finding their niche in more specialized applications. Only a few become household names.
Here’s a sneak peek at what made our 2024 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies
Our new 2024 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies won’t come out until January. But I recently gave attendees at EmTech MIT a sneak peek at one item that made the list—weight-loss drugs. Caroline Apovian, co-director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, then joined me on stage to discuss what these new obesity treatments will mean for public health.
