Principal research scientist Michael Siegel and research affiliate Sander Zeijlemaker wrote: "Organizations can start building cyber resilience today by connecting dependency, threat, and operational data, while also testing disruption and propagation scenarios. They must also define the defensive decisions AI can make versus those where human oversight is required. And they must identify trusted partners for sharing defensive insights or capabilities."

Patrick Yeung (MBA '26) said: "I chose MIT Sloan to engage with a community of builders. I felt it was important to focus on creating a network that was very different from my existing one in the consulting and advisory world. MIT Sloan, with its rich entrepreneurship ecosystem and the talent it attracts, has allowed me to do just that while also exploring a new city, focusing on sustainability work, and testing whether I'd enjoy working as a joiner instead of a founder."

Turning a company into an agentic enterprise isn't just a tech upgrade — it's a massive economic bet in compute, talent, and time. Should businesses go all in from day one, or build it out in stages? On this podcast episode, principal research scientist Neil Thompson discussed the smartest way to place that bet.

Professor Simon Johnson and co-author wrote: "The only stable solution to this crisis is one that involves China and increases economic integration in the region, as well as addressing the nuclear issue by integrating Iran's program into a regional civilian electricity production supply chain led by China."

For years, the conventional wisdom about young workers has been: Gen Z doesn't want a traditional career. They'd rather freelance, day-trade, chase side hustles, and treat a 9-to-5 as a relic that their parents clung to. Professor Emeritus Paul Osterman has spent decades testing that kind of assumption against hard labor-market data, and in his new book "Disposable Workers: The Transformation of Employment," he says the evidence points in the opposite direction. "Is that rhetoric really reflected in the attitudes of younger people?" Osterman asked. "The evidence is that it's absolutely not."

The price of the tokens by which corporates pay frontier labs for AI usage has been falling dramatically for months now. For research affiliate Paul Kedrosky, token pricing represents "the first hyperdeflationary commodity in the history of modern economies" because, whether or not they come into contact with other parts of the economy, "they do huge damage to it," causing price deflation. With these falling token prices, Kedrosky calculates that frontier model companies must achieve 400% annual unit growth "just to stand still financially," he said.
