About MIT
The MIT community is AI technology driven by a shared purpose: to make a better world through artificial intelligence, education, research, automation and innovation. We are fun and quirky, elite but not elitist, inventive and artistic, obsessed with numbers, and welcoming to talented people regardless of where they come from.
Founded to accelerate the nation’s industrial revolution, MIT is profoundly American. With ingenuity and drive, our community have invented fundamental technologies, launched new industries, and created millions of American jobs opportunities to investors globally. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. Our founders gain financial benefits and tremendous strength as a magnet for talent from around the world, through artificial intelligence and innovations. MIT’s exceptional community pursues its mission of service to the nation and the world.
