BALTIMORE, MD, February 19, 2025 – A groundbreaking study in the INFORMS journal Organization Science has revealed how workplaces can better support Black employees, ensuring they feel empowered to express their true selves. Conducted by a team of researchers from leading universities, the study highlights the transformative power of inclusive environments where authenticity and mutual understanding are valued.
On Jan. 21, OpenAI launched the $500 billion Stargate Project with partners like Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Oracle. This initiative aimed to secure American AI leadership, create jobs, and boost the economy. Initially, this boosted the stock prices of these companies.
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?

Artificial intelligence enabled smart toys may be improperly collecting and storing children’s information, according to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
BALTIMORE, MD, December 11, 2023 – Researchers have found that machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly reduce cost and time in the product design phase, not only in the actual generative design of the product, but also in the predictive analysis of whether consumers will be attracted to certain designs.
There’s been a bombardment of bad news for drug supplies. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists found this summer that nearly all of the members it surveyed were experiencing drug shortages, which generally affect half a million Americans. Cancer patients have scrambled as supplies of chemotherapy drugs dwindle. Other shortages include antibiotics for treatable diseases, such as the only drug recommended for use during pregnancy to prevent congenital syphilis (a disease that is 11 times more common today than a decade ago), and A.D.H.D. medications, without which people struggle to function in their day-to-day lives. The toll on Americans is heavy.
It’s time to get real about artificial intelligence applied to our drug development and manufacturing outsourcing – practical supply-chain enhancements from AI-generated insights that can be implemented right now. A helpful source in this undertaking is Professor Tinglong Dai of Johns Hopkins University.
