MIT researchers developed a testing framework that pinpoints situations where AI decision-support systems are not treating people and communities fairly. The SEED-SET system uses LLMs as proxies for human evaluators to assess ethical alignment in autonomous systems like power grids. https://news.mit.edu/2026/evaluating-autonomous-systems-ethics-0402 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics #MIT
