Principal research scientist Andrew McAfee said: "If you can't successfully address the fundamental fact of Moore's Law — the rule that the number of transistors on silicon chips doubles every 18 to 24 months — you're just not going to be around for long. The business model that we developed for running a company in the 20th century doesn't work in the digital, hardware, software, or networking industries."

Research scientist Martin Fleming wrote: "The stability and cooperation of the U.S.-China relationship should start with the recognition that the twin national giants will remain competitors, partners, and each other's customers. In short, these global leaders will have to learn to live together. As is the case with most technology firms, this triple-sided relationship is necessary to reduce risk and increase stability."

A study led by professor Abdullah Almaatouq mapped self-reported friendship ties in several datasets. In one network of 84 adults, 53 percent of 775 nominated ties were reciprocal. In other words, both people identified each other as friends. Does that mean half of all friendships are fake? No, but it showed something interesting. People often assume a friendship is mutual when the other person may define it differently.

Principal research scientist Neil Thompson, research scientist Martin Fleming, and co-author wrote: "Many corporate leaders are still assessing the risks of AI adoption. As time passes without a major mishap, they will become less cautious, the pace will pick up, and the financial rewards will reinforce further AI deployment. This is because AI has a 'J-curve' effect on the bottom line, with those in the later stages of adoption enjoying more profitability than those in the earlier stages."

In a study by professor Jackson Lu and co-authors, researchers followed 471 employees at a Fortune 100 company. Some were randomly assigned to complete nine weeks of debate training. A year and a half later, those employees were 12% more likely to have been promoted into leadership roles. Learning to debate isn't just about arguing. It's about learning how to share your perspective diplomatically and assertively, a skill that is valued in many American workplaces, Lu told Business Insider.

In this episode of CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime," professor of the practice Gary Gensler said: "I think if there were a level playing field, then some of this dust-up would quiet down. Some of these prediction markets are offshore, some of them are not well regulated, and Americans are accessing them through virtual private networks. Seventy or eighty percent of their volume is around sports betting, which Congress never gave the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) authority over. The CFTC just said, 'We want that authority,' but that's not what Congress did back in 2010."
