Manish Sabharwal: “An uneducated Indian is not a free Indian. Coaching factories, exam leaks, nursery-school interviews and unemployability mean an Indian child’s most important decisions are choosing their parents and pin code wisely. The solution is not licensing but supply.”
FT: “How much value is AI really creating? Eye-opening changes to the speed and volume of work are not always translating into genuine productivity.”
Ron Friedman on his book Superteams: “I hope readers come away realizing that great teams are not the product of luck, chemistry, or hiring a few extraordinary people. In my research, I found that Superteams share three core strengths: (1) They get more done by managing their time, energy, and attention more effectively; (2) They make each other better, and (3) they keep improving over time. And the good news is everyone one of these strengths is learnable, which means by building the right habits, any team can dramatically improve its performance.”
WSJ: “For decades, institutions such as the U.S. Federal Reserve have made enormously consequential decisions—raising or lowering interest rates—based on incomplete and often delayed information. The Fed must adhere to mandates of full employment and price stability, but inflation readings arrive weeks after the fact. Employment statistics are revised months later. This leaves policymakers operating in a world of uncertainty, interpreting imperfect signals and using models undermined by gaps in real-time knowledge. The result is that central banks sometimes wait too long to raise or cut interest rates in the face of price changes in the economy. AI has the potential to change that.”
