AI Hiring 2026: How MIT & Harvard AI Founders Evaluate Talent Now (Virtual Fireside)
This Thursday, join BlendED and experts from the Harvard & MIT startup ecosystem for an interactive virtual fireside talk discussing the current hiring landscape for fields impacted by AI. Whether you are interested in biotech, robotics, or another technical field, this talk will shed light on how AI impacts the hiring process for organizations.
Confirmed speakers include:
* Annanya Panagala: A Harvard i-Lab AI founder (Series A, computer vision + biotech)
* Alex Benjamin: An MIT PhD leading deep learning in pharma (Novartis)
* Peter Yu: The CTO of an MIT-affiliated robotics startup deploying AI in physical systems
Our speakers will provide insight and underlying context that isn’t immediately apparent from AI startup job listings, including technical standards founders don’t publicly articulate, how AI-native workflows redefine “junior” employees, and what a hire-worthy resumé is likely to contain.
Whether you’re a recent graduate looking for insight into applying for roles, a mid-career professional observing how the hiring field has changed, or an aspiring founder trying to understand the hiring process for existing organizations, this event is sure to provide valuable insight.
