"Streaming media created more inventory, which opened opportunities for soccer around the world to reach an audience here in the U.S.," said senior lecturer Ben Shields. "At this point, you could anticipate fan engagement in the World Cup, even if the U.S. is knocked out, will be very strong. And that's because of the ecosystem that's been built over time."

A study by professor Parag Pathak and co-author examined 4,000 children in public preschools in Boston from 1997 to 2003. "We found that 4-year-olds who were randomly allocated a seat in a public Boston preschool during this time period were more likely to attend college, and that it's a pretty large effect," said Pathak. "They were also more likely to graduate from high school, and more likely to take the SAT."

In his forthcoming book "Disposable Workers," Professor Emeritus Paul Osterman pulls back the curtain on a dangerous corporate trend. Drawing from a massive survey of 6,000 workers, Osterman proves that unstable work is no longer confined to rideshare drivers. It is a calculated, structural strategy rewriting the rules of the modern economy. If you freelance, you need to understand the game being played against you.

In this long-form interview, professor Robert C. Merton said: "The genuinely thrilling part is the moment when something you worked out in theory turns out to be something a person can actually do. Is it easy? Typically not. But nothing that's really good is easy. It's a path. That's been my philosophy of doing this for 60 years."

Senior lecturer Robert Pozen and co-author wrote: "President Trump recently issued an executive order calling for a federal website to encourage the opening of Individual Retirement Accounts by workers who have no retirement plan at work. But decades of efforts to promote saving in IRAs show that most ordinary households are unaware of the option or are held back by inertia. To extend retirement saving to all workers, Trump should now support federal legislation built on the concept of automatic IRAs, which are already being successfully implemented in 17 states."

PhD candidate Jonah Prousky wrote: "While technology makes it easier than ever to expose an anonymous celebrity, perhaps we shouldn't just because we can. Strangers are like an antidote to social media; they keep our attention on the art, or the work, as opposed to its creator. We should protect their anonymity, not for their sake, but for our own."

With the use of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the cost of automation falls exponentially toward zero, but the human cost of verification remains biologically limited. This structural divergence, documented in the paper "Some Simple Economics of AGI" by research scientist Christian Catalini and co-authors, completely redefines how you should think about your startup in the age of artificial intelligence.

According to professor Andrew W. Lo, models like ChatGPT can help with personalized analyses, but they do not yet replace the investor's responsibility or the work of a financial advisor. The best way to use these tools is to treat them as a second brain, not as an absolute authority. Among professor Lo's recommendations are asking the AI ​​to explain the assumptions it used in its analysis, what information might be missing, and even requesting that it critique its own response.

Institute Professor Daron Acemoglu said: "AI is more likely to replace than augment jobs in the near term. But the scale of job losses won't be anywhere close to the very large layoffs some are predicting." Principal research scientist Neil Thompson said AI's technical capability alone does not guarantee widespread job losses. "The impact AI ultimately has on the labour market may not be nearly as large as its impressive capabilities suggest," Thompson said.

Research by professor Catherine Tucker and co-author found that generative AI has real value in weight management. The survey was divided into a control group and an AI intervention group. The results showed that the subjects who used generative AI to obtain real-time and personalized diet suggestions had significantly greater decreases in weight and BMI compared to the control group that did not use AI.
