MIT Technology Review's daily Download digest for 11 May 2026 covers a broad range of technology stories. AI-adjacent items include employee dissatisfaction at Meta linked to AI adoption pressures, a lawsuit alleging ChatGPT influenced a mass shooting, Alibaba's AI-integrated shopping, TSMC's positioning amid AI chip demand, and a new AI competitiveness index placing the US, UK, and China at the top. Other stories cover South Korea's military robotics, a major student data breach via Canvas, cybercrime physical threats, and NASA miniaturisation. No item is developed in depth; AI is one thread among many.
