“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.” mitsloan.co/43pXUNv

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. mitsha.re/C2Au50P9vk9

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: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Why does this matter? How do people end up with these different network structures? 🧵
