Hi Rinaz,

Very glad that you have now received promising initial results! (I hope the same could be said for mine). I find it very interesting that, at the same time, our project scope can be widened and yet we have to narrow down and focus. I hope you the best as we approach the end, both for the research and from learning leadership from within.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Evalina,

Excellent research! I think the environmental impact of data centers and AI is, at times, very nebulous, especially when paired with energy issues. I think it is especially interesting looking at the demand for energy for the data centers-- how it grows at an incredible rate compared to other fields. One would expect that the energy consumption of other fields —if AI data centers are indeed energy-efficient —would decrease. That is to say, I think your research is interesting because it challenges whether AI is really more efficient. 

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Rinaz,

I absolutely agree that coordination is an important part of leadership that is underrated. I also strongly agree that leaders need to overcome their own weaknesses. Too often it is the case that a "leader" is stereotypically portrayed as someone who either "does everything" or is "the best at doing something". Rather, it is more often about taking the responsibility in coordinating to make sure everyone can do their best.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Ruchi! 

This sounds like an interesting project! I know you probably know this better than I am-- but when I think of prison writing, my intuition was immediately the "letter from a Birmingham jail". I think prison writing is important especially when it is an attempt to communicate with the outside world.

Thanks,

Eric
