The funny thing is that MIT already has something called "MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society" (IDSS): https://idss.mit.edu/

I wonder how this is going to play with the new MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, and what each entity will choose to focus on.

>It is expected that the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS), and the MIT Quest for Intelligence will all become part of the new College; other units may join the College.
