MIT Reads, now in its 10th year, is reimagining its mission—shifting from nonfiction to fiction and memoir to foster empathy and shared meaning in the age of AI. The program’s new focus on Ted Chiang’s 'Exhalation'—a collection that explores identity, consciousness, and human-machine relationships—reflects a deeper truth: ethical AI requires more than code, it needs narrative intelligence. As MIT’s leadership notes, storytelling helps us ask: 'How might what we build change us?' This is not a side project—it’s central to governance.
