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?
\n\nThis 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.
