Recent graduates are facing a tougher job market, and many are being forced to rethink how their skills align with a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

Will this be another summer of protest for Market Basket employees and customers? Don't count on it, Professor Emeritus Thomas Kochan said. "It would be hard to envision a mass protest because this does come across as a family feud over succession," Kochan observed. "It's too abstract. It's too much an internal dispute that I don't think would resonate."
"Improving technology and expanding the capabilities of some people may not necessarily translate into improved living standards for everyone," professor Simon Johnson said. "A lot of Big Tech bosses are more intensely focused on improving the capabilities of people like themselves."
