On my latest episode of #legends of #Data and #AI podcast series with @tdav of @babson College- posted on the various podcast platforms - we discussed many topics of import for #data #analytics and #DataScience.
In the attached snapshot, Tom Davenport makes a great point about "It's all about the data, man!" - I could not agree more. It is always a pleasure when Tom visits at @Northeastern University

I decided to post (late) my 2026 #AI #predictions authored at end of 2025 - despite many disagreeing with them, I think they are holding up very well

I discussed the new $100 billion (not $500B) #StargateProject announced by private companies: @OpenAI, @Oracle, @SoftBank with president Trump in White House. See @NUGlobalNews article highlighting the plan’s potential, research in #health and #lifesciences, and more. Other than the principles and UAE's MGX, how does it grow to $500B?

[Usama Fayyad @usamaf]

why did #AppleAI 's underwhelming #AI announcement pretty much features only a partnership with OpenAI Chat Bots ? is this a smart move or @Apple covering missing capabilities? Article by @Northeastern's @NUGlobalNews - what do you think?

[Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern @Experiential_AI]

Is @Apple's new partnership with @OpenAI an admission of weakness with Apple's digital assistant, Siri? Or is it genius?🧐

Executive Director, @usamaf spoke with @NUGlobalNews' @cesareo_r about the news, saying Apple is playing catch-up with this move: https://t.co/4XXUOZeKZJ

It takes courage @SenSanders to speak #truth to power. And you say it clearly, eloquently, and accurately to a #cogress and a @POTUS who are off their reality - you do represent a majority of Americans and I hope the U.S. Government wakes up and listens to you! Thank you.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

An attack on Rafah would make the unspeakable situation in Gaza even worse. The U.S. cannot continue to provide more bombs and artillery shells to support Netanyahu’s war machine. https://t.co/oInIl0cGYx

[Usama Fayyad @usamaf]

A surgeon of international renown, a dedicated medical worker, killed in Israeli detention - his crime: he refused to abndon his family, patients, and people in Gaza - the entire medical community should be outraged! What a shame...

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

“Rest in eternal power and peace, Dr Adnan Al Bursch, who was killed while in Israeli detention. Thank you to the many British doctors and health care workers for holding a vigil to remember our heroes and calling for #accountability.
