   Associated Press

   IBM is planning to spend $240 million over the next decade to create an
   artificial intelligence research lab at MIT.

   Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday announced the
   formation of the new MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. It will support joint
   research by IBM and MIT scientists.

   Its mission will include advancing the hardware, software and
   algorithms used for artificial intelligence. It also will tackle some
   of the economic and ethical implications of intelligent machines and
   look at its commercial application for industries ranging from health
   care to cybersecurity.

   MIT President L. Rafael Reif says the new AI lab builds on a
   decadeslong research relationship between IBM and MIT.

   It will be based at the university and IBM's nearby research center in
   Cambridge, Massachusetts.
