Brief
MIT Technology Review’s The Download highlights a paradox: people say they dislike AI yet continue to engage with it. The newsletter also previews EmTech Future 2026 and mentions an interview with the CEO of Springboards about a purpose-built LLM.
Why It Matters
If public sentiment and continued use diverge, policymakers and businesses may face conflicting pressures when shaping AI products and regulation.
