“Taking action on climate is not about constraint — it’s about growth, innovation, resilience, and economic opportunity. It’s about inventing the future.” — Georgina Campbell Flatter and Ben Soltoff, MIT Sloan Lecturers bit.ly/4njAR2u

Startups: Don’t ‘dial down’ the climate narrative. Refine it | MIT Sloan

Entrepreneurs should develop solutions that connect climate to reliable energy, economic growth, and competitiveness, argue MIT Sloan’s Ben Soltoff and Greentown Labs’ Georgina Campbell Flatter.

MIT Sloan professor Eric So believes that AI is changing how people’s brains operate and causing users to become overly dependent on the technology. This could eventually undermine individual learning patterns and derail business goals. Learn what individuals and organizations can to do protect cognitive capital: bit.ly/49VtgSz
The image is a highlighted section from an MIT Sloan article titled "3 Factors Leading to Worker Overreliance on AI." It lists three reasons: 1) Individuals rely on AI for power and productivity due to a desire to conserve mental energy. 2) Societal pressure results in increased AI usage to mimic expert performance. 3) The demand for productivity pressures individuals to use AI tools, especially in competitive environments.

The new Catalytic Climate Finance Project, co-founded by the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative’s Florian Berg and Jason Jay, aims to replicate the solar industry’s success by supporting the development of other green technologies. bit.ly/3PSUIcB

Building a case for catalytic climate finance | MIT Sloan

Many climate technologies fail not because of their effectiveness but because they falter in the “missing middle” of financing. The MIT Catalytic Climate Finance Project aims to bridge that gap.

Human content creators are protected by copyright law, in part to ensure that they’re fairly compensated for their work. But whether these laws allow AI models to learn from human-created content is up for debate in court and on Capitol Hill. bit.ly/4u2rfvB

How ‘learnrights’ would compensate creators for AI model training | MIT Sloan

Learnright laws would give copyright holders the exclusive right to license their content for artificial intelligence model training.

Quote from MIT Center for Information Systems Research research scientist Nick van der Meulen: "Organizations are applying yesterday's best practices to an inherently different technology. They govern AI like legacy IT ... and treat AI as another skill to acquire when it's actually redefining what skilled work looks like."
