We knew this, right? But here’s some evidence that “who you know is as important — often more so — than what you know when it comes to rising through the ranks.” Network analysis, gender, and influence.
Organizational network analysis showed that women had far fewer connections than men in critical decision-making networks: mitsmr.com/30USwIa

Let’s tell it straight. We are all SURRENDERING our personal info for convenience. Personal info is ⬆️ valuable now and in the future.

AI may not be the (financially sound) answer in some industries.

Google is like an overly controlling dissertation chair: “You can research anything you want, as long as it makes me look good.” (aka, research as indentured servitude).

Stimulating dialogue about AI in an early #amawinter session moderated by @HBSmktg. Differing points of view (w/ ☕️) are a fun way to start the day!
Thank you to @rebecca_reczek @DrGiesler & Simone Botti for engaging w/ commentary from @kncukier about their insightful article!

Many predictive policing vendors like PredPol fundamentally do not understand how structural and social conditions skew many forms of crime data. bit.ly/3jmApPY
