INSEAD webinar on the dual race to AI & global leadership

INSEAD webinar on the dual race to AI & global leadership
2025-02-14
(Press-News.org) Digital@INSEAD is hosting a free TECH TALK X webinar “The Dual Race to AI & Global Leadership” on Wednesday, 19 February 2025  7.00 am ET / 1.00 pm CET (Duration: 60 min).

The TECH TALK will be featuring a discussion between Tim Gordon (MBA’00D), Partner, Best Practice AI and Theos Evgeniou, INSEAD Professor of Technology & Business and Director of Executive Programs in AI.

Tim, an INSEAD alumnus with over 20 years of international experience in digital transformation, global strategy and innovation, will join Theos to explore the two critical AI races reshaping our world: one driving rapid economic growth alongside significant workforce disruption, and another defining global leadership in the 21st century through the strategic contest between the US and China – as well as the EU and the rest of the world.

Together, they will also discuss the risks of market bubbles, illustrated by massive investments such as the $500 billion Stargate project, and examine what these disruptive trends mean for businesses, regions and policymakers navigating the complex interplay of technology, economics and geopolitical strategy.
 

Highlights: 

Reflections from ParisAI Summit Why the US and the UK refused to sign the Summit's letter What do all these mean for China, EU and the rest of the world?  How do nations develop their National AI Strategies? What does this mean for their business ecosystem? What key questions about AI do executives, investors, and startup-founders need to consider carefully today? What are some scientific and technological foundations driving AI that are relevant for executives, investors and policy makers? And a lot more Register today and join the webinar for an engaging discussion.

Ketamine: From club drug to antidepressant?

Ketamine: From club drug to antidepressant?
2025-02-14
Ketamine has received a Hollywood makeover. It used to be known as a rave drug (street name special K) and cat anesthetic. However, in recent years, some doctors have prescribed ketamine to treat conditions from post-traumatic stress disorder to depression. “The practice is not without controversy,” notes Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Hiro Furukawa. ‘Should we give a hallucinogen to patients in compromised mental states?’ wonder ketamine’s skeptics. The controversy came to ...

Multilevel stressors and systemic and tumor immunity in Black and White women with breast cancer

2025-02-14
About The Study: The findings of this cross-sectional study of Black and white women with breast cancer suggest that perceived stress, perceived inadequate social support, perceived racial and ethnic discrimination, and neighborhood deprivation were associated with deleterious alterations to the systemic and tumor immune environment, particularly for Black women. Understanding biology as a possible mediator of cancer health disparities may inform prevention and public health interventions. Corresponding Author: To contact ...

Childhood lifestyle behaviors and mental health symptoms in adolescence

2025-02-14
About The Study: This cohort study of Finnish children and adolescents found that higher physical activity and lower screen time from childhood were associated with perceived stress and depressive symptoms in adolescence. These findings emphasize reducing screen time and increasing physical activity to promote mental health in youth. Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Eero A.

Most comprehensive study on U.S. health care spending by county reveals wide variation

2025-02-14
  At $144 billion, type 2 diabetes was the most expensive single health condition. Emergency department care had the fastest growth. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 14, 2025 – Researchers present the most comprehensive study on U.S. health care spending and variations across 3,110 counties by four payers, 148 health conditions, 38 age/sex groups, and seven types of care. That’s according to the newest and most extensive studies published in JAMA and JAMA Health Forum today. As part of this study, researchers ...

Tracking U.S. health care spending by health condition and county

2025-02-14
About The Study: Broad variation in health care spending was observed across U.S. counties. Understanding this variation by health condition, sex, age, type of care, and payer is valuable for identifying outliers, highlighting inequalities, and assessing health care gaps.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Joseph L.

Drivers of variation in health care spending across U.S. counties

2025-02-14
About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, variation in health care spending among U.S. counties was largely related to variation in service utilization. Understanding the drivers of spending variation in the U.S. may help policymakers assess the allocation of health care resources. Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Joseph L.

A new switch for the cell therapies of the future

2025-02-14
The body regulates its metabolism precisely and continuously, with specialised cells in the pancreas constantly monitoring the amount of sugar in the blood, for example. When this blood sugar level increases after a meal, the body sets a signal cascade in motion in order to bring it back down. In people suffering from diabetes, this regulatory mechanism no longer works exactly as it should. Those affected therefore have too much sugar in their blood and need to measure their blood sugar level and inject themselves with insulin in order to regulate it. This is ...

Utilizing a nanomedicine to achieve tumor catalysis-enhanced differentiation therapy

Utilizing a nanomedicine to achieve tumor catalysis-enhanced differentiation therapy
2025-02-14
Tumor metastasis, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance are the main reasons for the failure of clinical cancer treatment. Studies have found that the presence of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) with stemness characteristics in malignant tumors is a key factor leading to the above undesirable results. However, there are significant limitations to current strategies with traditional molecular drugs for combating CSCs, such as the unsatisfactory in vivo stemness-suppressing efficiency, and the lack of powerful tumor-specific lethal action, resulting in remaining massive bulk tumor cells that can convert to CSCs via epithelial-to-mesenchymal ...

Report documents the devastation of the ancient city of Palmyra, a World Heritage Site, after the fall of the Assad regime

2025-02-14
Palmyra is one of the most famous sites in Syria for its extraordinary heritage and archaeological remains. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1980, the city saw much of its heritage destroyed during the war. Following the liberation of Syria from the Assad regime on 8 December, a multidisciplinary team has carried out a field study in Palmyra to assess the current state of the archaeological monuments and the surrounding residential areas, comparing them with their condition before the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011. The report is an initiative of Palmyrene Voices of the NGO Heritage for Peace in collaboration with the CSIC's Milà i Fontanals Institution. ‘We ...
