Episode 22: AI Reality Check: The AI Colleague

Saison 4

mardi 14 novembre 2023 • Durée 38:00

While AI will surely take over some jobs lock, stock and barrel, the more likely scenario is that we will have to share our jobs with AI entities. It can be challenging enough to work with fellow humans and understand their emotions and thinking styles. What will it be like working with super-smart non-humans? Will it change how we behave or make us question our judgment? Will it keep tabs on our performance? This episode explores these questions with guests Tracy Jenkin, an associate professor at Smith and a faculty affiliate at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and Anton Ovchinnikov, Distinguished Professor of Management Analytics. Dr. Jenkin and Dr. Ovchinnikov discuss what they’ve learned so far from their research that explores human-AI collaboration and cognitive processes. They are joined in conversation by host Meredith Dault. Special Guests: Anton Ovchinnikov and Tracy Jenkin.

Episode 19: AI Reality Check: AI-Powered HR

Saison 4

mardi 14 novembre 2023 • Durée 30:44

The corporate HR department has typically been the butt of jokes and scorn, and HR executives often struggle to make their voices heard on top management teams. In the age of AI, huge amounts of people management data — from employee surveys to performance reports — can be fed into natural language processing systems to glean insights that could help organizations work smarter and more efficiently. That will make HR executives important drivers of workplace transformation. This episode features the insights of two HR experts who are also Smith School of Business alumni. Heidi Klotz is vice-president, total rewards and people analytics, at AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin). And Dagmar Christianson is a London, England-based consultant in workforce transformation and the future of work. The two discuss how HR leaders will have to prepare employees for the technology disruption to come. They are joined in conversation by host Meredith Dault.

Episode 18: AI Reality Check: Battling Bias

Saison 4

mardi 14 novembre 2023 • Durée 33:42

From high school students given the wrong marks just as they’re applying to university to Black defendants misclassified as higher risk for reoffending, AI is driving unfair and damaging outcomes. Technology firms promise what they call Responsible AI. But can they really deliver if they can’t keep up with the speed of change? Can governments impose ethical standards and safe use of AI-based systems and products? In this episode, Anton Ovchinnikov, Distinguished Professor of Management Analytics at Smith School of Business, discusses his groundbreaking research into the government response to algorithmic bias and what happens when large language models are fed AI-generated synthetic content rather than human-generated content. He is joined in conversation by host Meredith Dault. Special Guest: Anton Ovchinnikov.

Saison 4

Whether we know it or not, we interact with AI-driven systems multiple times a day. Some of us are even using generative AI as a dating coach or to write standup comedy.
