John Hopkins Carey Business School professor, Tinglong Dai, on the federal government’s announcement that they are allowing states to vaccinate anyone over 65 and those with preexisting conditions.
Clay Travis: “This was the most irresponsible single piece of journalism having to do with college football that was published anywhere in the country. CBS Sports should apologize to their entire audience because they wrote a piece based on University of Illinois computer science professional Sheldon Jacobson saying ‘I guarantee someone is going to die if they play a college football season.’ He also said the FBS level would see ‘3-7 deaths’. ‘A few of them could end up in a hospital and you’ll have a small number who could die. I don’t want to sugarcoat it for you, I just want to give you the facts’… IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) has been busy in recent months, as it should be. The stakes are high when you look at the role artificial intelligence will play at nearly every level of national security in the years ahead. To underestimate the impact of AI on our nation’s safety and security is to do so at great risk. The biggest risk would be to neglect the recruitment, retention and training of elite human warfighters who will drive the successful deployment of AI. Like many in the fields of operations research, analytics, and data science, we have been closely following the work and recommendations of the NSCAI with a keen and specific eye as veterans.
A new study by Yale SOM’s Edward Kaplan and Scott Rodilitz, based on data from a long-running survey of migrants who have returned from the United States to Mexico, estimates that the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States is 19.6 million, far exceeding widely accepted estimates. Kaplan is the William N. and Marie A. Beach Professor of Operations Research, professor of public health, and professor of engineering; Rodilitz is a doctoral student in operations at Yale SOM. Their study appears in the journal Risk Analysis, the flagship publication of the Society for Risk Analysis.
Machine learning can be an effective tool to set competitive prices. Artificial intelligence has its limits on how to set the most effective prices due to variables beyond the seller's control. Over the long term supracompetitive pricing can result. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are perfectly suited to help companies and marketers monitor and set prices based on real-time dynamic pricing. But new research has identified some possible unintended consequences of AI in this area.

An audio journey of how data and analytics save lives, save money and solve problems.
President Trump has said he will impose a flat 25% tariff on goods coming from Canada and Mexico. It is important to mention that it is not clear whether sweeping tariffs will be imposed, and if so, when and to what extent. Whether tariffs are being used as a negotiation strategy, a threat, or are being seriously considered will become clearer in the next few weeks and months.
Something remarkable is happening in Washington. Tech executives who once shunned the political spotlight now make regular pilgrimages to Capitol Hill, and artificial intelligence — a field that traces back to the 1950s — has become the talk of the town.
Health insurance has become necessary, with large and unpredictable health care costs always looming before each of us. Unfortunately, the majority of people have experienced problems when using their health insurance to pay for their medical care. Health insurance serves as the buffer between patients and the medical care system, using population pooling to mitigate the risk exposure on any one individual.
Tariffs could raise the cost of medical care and prescription drugs for people in the U.S.
A groundbreaking new study in the INFORMS journal Transportation Science reveals the severe and far-reaching consequences of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on global food security. The research highlights an urgent need to address disruptions in the transportation of Ukrainian grains, which have caused dramatic price spikes and worsened food insecurity worldwide, particularly in vulnerable regions such as the Middle East and North Africa.
Dockworkers on the East and Gulf coasts could go on strike again in less than two weeks if they don’t reach a contract agreement with ports and shippers. Talks are set to resume next week, according to Bloomberg. The main sticking point between the two sides? Automation.
