A new tactic, pioneered by Northeastern University a few years ago, is taking the satellite campus concept to its logical extreme. “A university cannot be defined by its campus,” Joseph Aoun, Northeastern’s president, told me. “We’re going to them rather than asking them to come to one campus.”

With all these solutions, “there are no silver bullets, and what works in one place may not work in another”, notes Lizzie Yarina, a climate adaptation researcher at Northeastern University in the US.

A tracker produced by Northeastern University’s Center for Inclusive Computing in Boston estimated at the end of last year that there were 728 AI-focused undergraduate programmes just in computing departments at 584 universities across the US.

The difference was two to three degrees on a 100-degree “feeling thermometer.” That might not seem big, but “it’s comparable to three years of historical change on average in the U.S.,” says co-author Chenyan Jia, a communication scientist at Northeastern University. 

“All options should be on the table, but there are significant ethical concerns with initiating medication for addiction that might not be there for long term,” said Leo Beletsky, a professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. 

Aliza Hochman Bloom, an assistant professor of law at Northeastern University and former federal public defender in Florida, echoed that dismissals, even without prejudice, are rare. 

Truong Tran works at Northeastern University’s Oakland campus and teaches an undergraduate creative writing foundations class.

According to a recent Northeastern University journal article titled “Explaining women’s skepticism toward artificial intelligence: The role of risk orientation and risk exposure,” women are more skeptical of AI than men.

“This is the kind of dynamic that leads to a medical arms race,” said Gary J. Young, a professor of strategic management and health care systems at Northeastern University. “Each one is competing furiously to cement their position as a leading cancer center. That will require big investment.”

Engin Kirda, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston who specializes in malware detection and analysis, says he wouldn’t be surprised if this was already happening. “I’m sure people are investing in it, but I’m also pretty sure people are already doing it, especially [in] China—they have good AI capabilities,” he says. 

A couple of years later, he reached out to Psyche Loui, a cognitive scientist and a musician at Northeastern University who was researching the brains of people who did and didn’t experience chills from music. 

As people age, their probability of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia increases, and these conditions affect nearly half of people in their 80s and 90s, Art Kramer, a psychologist at Northeastern University who was not involved with the new study, told Live Science.
