How Might AI Shape the Future of Work?

Konrad Kording and Ioana Marinescu have developed an interactive model to predict how AI will affect wages, jobs, and the overall economy. Their model demonstrates how intelligence saturation—the idea that additional increases in intelligence yield diminishing benefits when physical inputs are held constant—fundamentally constrains AI’s long-term economic impact.

Why Nurturing Connection Is Good for Your Health

Most Americans say that spending time with loved ones is one of the most important things in their lives — and yet, amid the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day, relationships often take a backseat to other commitments. WHYY's The Pulse spoke with Emily Falk about why maintaining relationships often falls to the bottom of our to-do lists, and how understanding our brain’s reward system can help us change that.
