Praxis

Runway, the AI company best known for generative video, has introduced Praxis-1, a world action model aimed at robotics. The model is designed to help robots understand and act in physical environments, extending Runway's work beyond media generation. Details on capabilities and partners remain limited, but the move signals growing competition among AI firms to bring foundation models into real-world robotics applications.

Tufts University's Praxis initiative is examining DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programme, through the lens of immigration reform, human rights and American identity. The discussion frames the status of undocumented young people brought to the US as children as a defining civil and human rights question, tying policy debates to the broader story of who belongs in America.
