At the University of Arizona, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was loudly booed as he compared A.I. to previous waves of technological innovation and urged graduates to help “shape” its future. At the University of Central Florida, real estate executive Gloria Caulfield drew loud jeers when she called A.I. “the next industrial revolution.” At commencement

The World Cup Final is coming to the New York region, but the real spectacle was never going to be confined to the stadium.
