In December 2024, just as the AI hype was ramping up, my colleagues Nicole Radziwill, Todd McClees, and I warned in the Harvard Business Review that most enterprises were poorly positioned to benefit from the technology.

If you suspect something’s amiss with your home network, the first thing you might do is run ​a speed test from sites like speedtest.net or fast.com​—or even the newer Orb speed test tool featured here last May​.

If you’ve been watching the NFL this season, you’ve probably noticed that a few dozen players have pretty big heads. Not in the diva sense, but literally.

Below, Richard Socher shares five key insights from his new book, The Eureka Machine: Why AI Is the Key to Unlocking a New Era of Scientific Discoveries.

The day I got put on my performance improvement plan (or PIP) in my content marketing job, I drove back to an Appalachian folk magic store I’d happened into the weekend prior. I bought a bottle of Boss Fix Oil, a “conjuring oil” touted as a way of “improving work dynamics.”

Mark Zuckerberg hand-delivered homemade soup to OpenAI researchers’ front doors in an attempt to recruit them.

Usually, this is because the amount of data they’d need to back up in iCloud would vastly exceed their available iCloud storage space—and they don’t want to pay extra each month for an iCloud Plus subscription. Other times, people assume their iPhone data doesn’t change that much day to day, so they don’t need to back up their iPhone that often.

Media critic Ben Bagdikian warned in 2004 that five corporations had accumulated “more communications power than was exercised by any despot or dictatorship in history.” More than 20 years later, a major media merger is bringing his warning back into focus.

For the generation that grew up with devices at their fingertips and social media as an extension of their life, a new shift is pushing Gen Z away from the screen and toward the real world.

At least eight states are suing artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, saying the company’s popular chatbot model violated state consumer protection laws by hurting children and deceiving adults in what prosecutors described as a reckless pursuit of profit.
