AI Learning

How much time does 'free' AI learning actually cost? The answer isn't in a price tag—it's in 500 hours.

The real cost isn't access—it’s obsession. This insight comes from the MIT Media Lab’s (MAD) official reflection on the 2026 Gala: https://mad.mit.edu/news/reflections-on-the-runway-mit-gala As we all pursue AI fluency, we must ask: are we learning from algorithms—or from the human feedback that teaches them?
