Health companies return $2.6 trillion to shareholders over time amid rising medical costs Penn In the News USA Today Health companies return $2.6 trillion to shareholders over time amid rising medical costs A study led by Victor Roy of the Perelman School of Medicine finds that consumers and employers ultimately contributed to corporate health profits by paying for insurance premiums, out-of-pocket medical bills, and taxes. Donald Trump gets bad news about his Social Security taxes plan Penn In the News Newsweek Donald Trump gets bad news about his Social Security taxes plan A study by Kent Smetters of the Penn Wharton Budget Model and colleagues estimates that cutting taxes on Social Security benefits could cost the federal government $1.5 trillion during the next decade and exacerbate Social Security’s projected funding shortfalls. To pay for Trump’s tax cuts, House Republicans could raise student loan bills for millions of borrowers Penn In the News CNBC To pay for Trump’s tax cuts, House Republicans could raise student loan bills for millions of borrowers According to an analysis by the Penn Wharton Budget Model, the SAVE student loan repayment plan could cost taxpayers as much as $475 billion over a decade. Should generative AI tools be restricted in the workplace over security? Penn In the News Yahoo! News Should generative AI tools be restricted in the workplace over security? According to a report by security researchers from Penn and hardware conglomerate Cisco, DeepSeek’s AI model is vulnerable to jailbreaking. Quantum communications Leveraging principles of quantum mechanics to securely transmit messages has promised a revolution in encryption, keeping sensitive information secure. Now, a collaborative team of researchers including the School of Engineering and Applied Science’s Liang Feng and Ph.D. candidate Yichi Zhang have developed a system that enables more stable, robust, high-efficiency, and long-range quantum communication—paving the way for practical, high-dimensional quantum networks.(Image: Courtesy of Jian Fan) Quantum communications Penn and CUNY researchers collaborated to develop a device that uses quantum principles to relay information securely—an advance that could improve encryption in critical service areas like banking and health care.
