Richard M. Locke, John C Head III Dean of MIT Sloan, said: "We are providing students with an education that guarantees they have the skills and experiences necessary to succeed in today's world. It's not just about what we teach them, but also how we teach it."

Professor Stuart Madnick and research affiliate Angelica Marotta wrote: "The United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime establishes the first universal framework for investigating and prosecuting offenses committed online. The ideal time for companies to deal with the changes outlined in the treaty is not during a cybercrime event. Planning and testing these new processes and procedures should be started now, to give you the time needed to sort out the complexities that are likely to arise."

Should you use AI for financial advice? Professor Andrew W. Lo says not yet. Large language models like Copilot or ChatGPT aren’t suited to being used as financial advisers because they are the digital equivalent of sociopaths — smooth, persuasive and devoid of empathy.

"If oil production goes up, climate change will get worse sooner, and everybody loses, including the people of Venezuela," professor John Sterman said. "The climate damages suffered by Venezuela, along with other countries, will almost certainly outweigh any short-term economic benefit of selling a bit more oil."

In this episode of CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," principal research scientist Andrew McAfee said: "Nature is more complicated than we can understand. Now we have a set of technologies — call it generative AI — where if we just feed it a whole bunch of stuff, it can do a remarkable job of figuring out the rules, structure, and what's going on underneath the hood."

Professor Sandy Pentland wrote: "Overall, nations are seeing fast changes in their economies thanks to AI and a changing geopolitical climate. What's emerging is not simply a new set of trade agreements, but a new operating model for sovereignty. The countries that do best won't be those that wait for the next superpower to set the rules; they'll be the ones that deliberately build the rails."
