Key Takeaways Dartmouth College is investigating its provost, Santiago Schnell, after its student newspaper found apparent AI use in work published under his name. Faculty members are facing scrutiny over AI-written opinion pieces and research. Students see a double standard when colleges penalize them for outsourcing academic work to AI but allow similar use by institutional leaders. Dartmouth College recently said it would investigate allegations of a professor’s AI use. Students say the controversy reflects a broader double standard: Colleges restrict the technology for students while administrators and faculty embrace it themselves. According to a recent report from The New…

Pop goes that idea. Mars is pulling its Pop-Tarts BuzzBallz collab just a month after launch over concerns that the drinks could appeal to underage drinkers, Bloomberg reports. The limited-edition cocktails came in Frosted S’mores and Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavors and packed 15% alcohol. But more than 30 public health groups urged Mars to end the deal. “Childhood brands should not become tools for normalizing or promoting alcohol consumption,” said Mike Marshall, CEO of the US Alcohol Policy Alliance. The company now says it “regrets the partnership” and won’t team Pop-Tarts with alcohol brands again. BuzzBallz owner Sazerac argues…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Brand visibility now depends on coming up in AI searches. AI-driven searches look to credible sources to generate their summaries. To appear in those summaries, you need your own credible earned media to validate the trustworthiness of your brand.

Old way: Type in what you’re looking for — for example, “best places to stay in Lake Tahoe” — and your search engine of choice would produce a long list of blue links you could follow. Good luck growing your business if you didn’t…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most first-time brick-and-mortar owners plan for the risks they can picture — theft, bad reviews, a slow opening month. Fewer plan for the risks tied to the physical space itself. These risks include slip-and-fall hazards, unclear maintenance responsibilities, accessibility issues, fire and security risks, insurance gaps and weak incident-response procedures. Most risks can be addressed with simple, repeatable systems — daily walkthroughs, clearly assigned landlord/tenant responsibilities, safety checks, tested fire and security equipment, a simple incident-report template For founders who built their first business online, the leap to a physical…

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he and a large group of leaders of artificial intelligence companies had signed a voluntary accord that will include internal and external reviews during a meeting at the White House aimed at addressing Americans’ fears about the technology.“I think I’m seeing tremendous self-policing. And they understand that they have to self-police,” Trump told reporters during an impromptu press conference outside the West Wing.Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson met with leading executives from top tech firms that are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build out AI infrastructure, including data centers in…
Despite repeated warnings about the risks of artificial intelligence, users have become increasingly reliant on AI chatbots—particularly those offering companionship. Yet despite chatbots’ utility for tasks like answering quick queries or offering brief advice, their benefits might not be outweighing the costs. A new, peer-reviewed study from researchers at Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute suggests that AI chatbots used for companionship, despite offering momentary benefits, are causing their users long-term damage and psychological harm. The study dives into a common phenomenon where users turn to AI companion platforms for services like emotional support and well-being. The study looked at both…
As the prices of memory and components soar, affording a new computer is becoming more and more challenging for some people. Average computer prices are expected to increase by as much as 20% before year’s end. That’s forcing many computer owners to make do with what they have. But if your desktop or laptop is feeling sluggish, it doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. A few fairly easy steps could give you a speed boost that may not equal that of a new machine running the latest hardware, but will still feel like a notable leap from what you experience today. Here’s…
Artificial intelligence dominated the opening of the UN General Assembly in New York on September 22, 2026. Ahead of the meeting, 20 nations released a statement requesting “human direction, oversight and control” of AI. The U.S. was not among them. This followed several calls from within the industry itself. Earlier in September, an Anthropic researcher put the odds that AI kills all humans within the next decade at more than 10%. Days later, Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, published an essay asking the government to help slow frontier AI. His request was backed by Elon Musk and OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman.…
Although intelligence is one of the most consistent and important predictors of real-life success, the connection is by no means perfect. This explains why we all know people who we consider “smart” in a traditional sense (e.g., knowledgeable, bookish, geeky, and mathematically sharp), but who seem to malfunction in everyday life. In fact, decades of scientific research show that intellectual and emotional intelligence are only marginally related, so the ability to function well in interpersonal or social situations is not necessarily a strength for individuals known for admirable mental horsepower or abstract reasoning capacity. To be sure, there’s no shortage…
