Living in limbo: An estimated 2 million U. S. federal employees were thrust into a decision they did not seek to make. A deadline from the Trump Administration was halted last week, and is now in the hands of a judge. When a deadline is set those employees will have to make a high-stakes choice: Take a buyout and resign, or they can choose to stay in an uncertain job environment, including the possibility of being laid-off or having significant changes in work duties or leave with a buyout. This current reprieve gives these federal employees a little more time, but the fundamental question for each of them remains: What’s the right move for your career and future?

In the current era of artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping industries worldwide, integrating AI in healthcare, public policy, and business is paramount. Dr. Soroush Saghafian, the visionary founder and director of the Public Impact Analytics Science Lab (PIAS-Lab) at Harvard, is a key figure at this intersection. His pioneering work as a Harvard professor involves developing, integrating, and using appropriate analytical tools in operations research, management science, machine learning and big data, decision-making, statistics, AI, and related fields has profoundly impacted societal outcomes.
Large language models (LLMs) have brought about advances in artificial intelligence that few researchers thought possible before, at least so soon. ChatGPT set records for its fastest-growing user base in internet history a mere two months after its release to the public. Now there’s frequent talk about the inevitability of artificial general intelligence, where machines have the same types of abilities as humans. Before we get too excited though, we must be mindful of both what LLMs can’t do and what they do that is undesirable.
