MIT AGI: Building machines that see, learn, and think like people (Josh Tenenbaum)
Josh Tenenbaum and the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines argue that current deep learning systems are limited specialized tools that fail to replicate human general intelligence due to a lack of common sense and world modeling. To achieve true Artificial General Intelligence, the proposal advocates for a reverse-engineering approach that integrates cognitive science with engineering to build probabilistic programs capable of "programming" internal models of physics and psychology. This methodology aims to bridge the gap between industry's data-driven pattern recognition and the foundational, low-data learning mechanisms observed in human infants.

Hacks on Health Care: How to Make a Vulnerable Industry Cyber-Secure
Kim McCleary, Joshua Corman, Kevin McDonald, Suzanne Schwartz, Mark Wilson, Josh Tenenbaum, Martha Minowski
Led by Kim McCleary, a panel of industry experts and regulators detailed how the convergence of legacy medical devices, severe talent shortages, and immense costs has created a "critical condition" for healthcare cybersecurity in the United States. Highlighting the Hollywood Presbyterian ransomware attack and a BlackBerry demonstration of infusing pump vulnerabilities, the discussion established that proof of potential harm is now sufficient for FDA intervention while exposing the market's $100-per-record data value and the impossibility of total technical prevention. To address these systemic risks, stakeholders were advised to integrate security into patient safety cultures, mandate transparency in device procurement, and leverage the NIST framework to shift focus toward risk containment and continuous response rather than unattainable prevention.

Brand Battlefield: Mobile and Social Networks
Sean Amos, Josh Mandel, Bonin Bow, Jamie Goodfriend, David Rockefeller Jr., John McWhorter, Eric Schmidt, Josh Tenenbaum, Jimmy O., Kathleen King, Mike McDonald, Serena Rosso, Ron, Nick Smoot, Carolina Tolberti
The discussion highlights a decisive market shift where social media usage now surpasses television, driving 84% of purchasing decisions through peer influence while Millennials command $400 billion in projected spending. Brands like Mondelēz International are responding by realigning strategies toward mobile-first approaches and real-time engagement, exemplified by the Honey Maid campaign's rapid crisis-to-opportunity turnaround. This transformation is further fueled by organizational changes where executive sponsorship and machine learning empower sales teams to replace compliance silos with authentic relationship building.
