Tech and AI news from The Boston Report covers the companies, models, products and policies shaping technology, with a focus on how they reach Boston. Here you will find reporting on artificial intelligence launches from the major labs, the debates over safety and regulation, new devices and software, and the Boston tech startups and established employers building in the region, from legal AI firm Harvey’s plan to hire 40 people in Boston to Uber’s $2.3 billion acquisition of Boston catering firm ezCater.
We write for readers who want the facts without the hype. Each story names its sources, separates what companies announced from what outside reporting confirmed, and links to the original material so you can check it yourself. We do not test products or review gadgets. We report on announcements, filings and published coverage, and we label any analysis of our own.
