MIT Media Lab and partner research teams launched an open benchmark assessing AI's impact on humans across physical, psychological, and social dimensions, with clear visualizations and plain-language write-ups. It produces "AI nutrition labels" for models — the example shown is for OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna. Luiza Jarovsky urged Hugging Face's Clement Delangue and Margaret Mitchell to add it to the Hub; it's seen as a strong resource for AI governance professionals.
