AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Robotics & Manufacturing (Massachusetts): Healey-Driscoll backs Massachusetts robotics with $6.6M via Robo-Bench, funding new robot testing and a statewide “nerve center” at UMass Amherst, plus projects at BU and WPI. AI & Chips (Massachusetts-linked): Samsung and MIT researchers report a way to steer ruthenium crystal growth using trace carbon—aimed at easing wiring limits as AI chips keep shrinking. Public Safety Tech (Massachusetts): Hopkinton cancels its Flock license-plate camera contract after a legal review, joining other western Mass towns that say the system erodes trust and needs stronger oversight. Cybersecurity (Massachusetts): UMass Amherst researchers unveil a “Zombie Card” flaw that can make some expired Visa contactless cards appear valid to terminals, raising new concerns for payment-chain checks. Immigration Policy (Massachusetts court): Groups sue DHS in federal court in Massachusetts to block a rule ending Duration of Status for international students and visitors, arguing DHS mishandled costs, comments, and authority. Energy & Data Centers (Massachusetts debate): Markey and Moulton clash on AI safeguards, with Markey pushing for national rules and local control over data-center impacts like electricity and water. Local Culture & STEM Outreach (Boston): Boston Public Library announces a fall lecture series with science-and-technology programming, including an AI and civic engagement panel.
