Market Watch (December 16)
“AI brings efficiency, but it lacks the empathy and emotional intelligence inherent to humans. So although AI can be a useful tool for management and leadership, CEOs must ensure that the human touch in customer relations, employee management, company culture and business decision-making remains prominent. If these become overly-automated, they’ll lose the power to create human connection, eroding trust in the process.”

Time (July 9)
For the first time in nearly a century, “densely packed urban areas grew faster than suburbs.” If the trend continues, Time suggests “it could be good news for the environment, reducing the time commuters spend in gas-guzzling cars going to and from their jobs in the city.” It might “also be good for America’s social ecology.” Suburbanization has largely isolated the rich from the poor. Urbanization could lead to more mixing, stronger relationships and greater empathy as social and ethnic classes converge more frequently.
