Tom Kochan, @MITSloan prof., asks if this year's labor discontent will be a momentary demonstration of militancy and bargaining power, or a sustained effort for a new, more equitable and productive social contract governing work? https://t.co/pXDTzT6UN8 #LaborDay2023
Another effort to promote actions to build a new social contract. It is the "summer of labor's discontent" so I thought it was worth posting this. Let's hope all the actions underway produce sustainable results.https://t.co/S2aKbfrrtj
Experts recommend using responsible artificial intelligence, misinformation interventions, and decentralized platforms to address some of social media’s flaws. @mit_ide@sinanaral https://t.co/4PgVWyf57u
Technological change drives economic growth, but its path depends on political power and dominant visions.
@EconoFactOrg hosts @baselinescene to discuss which visions drive progress, from his new book with @DAcemogluMIT, #PowerAndProgress.

Ivy-Plus colleges have preferential admissions for the rich.
Economics is a massive outlier in favoring Ivy Plus undergrads in our PhD admissions - more than 1 in 6 US-born Economics PhDs have an Ivy Plus undergrad
This must contribute to our socioeconomic diversity problem

Here are three ways companies can take advantage of developments in artificial intelligence technology. @ewzucker@pierre_azoulay https://t.co/ZFJzoknwb2
“The great paradox of a field founded on data is that so little is known about what’s happening in AI, and what might lie ahead.” https://t.co/sy2on9tzBn
Today, many companies and institutions are not just data-driven, but data-intensive. But that doesn’t mean organizations are always using optimal models. MIT Sloan’s Rahul Mazumder is a leading expert in determining efficient algorithms. https://t.co/GoYpxxCXhF
People in some places in the US have more long ties — ties between people without mutual contacts.
This is a map from our newly published paper: https://t.co/GJIi5AVXW5
Why does this matter? How do people end up with these different network structures? 🧵
