Led by: Hamsa Bastani, associate professor of operations, information and decisions, associate professor of statistics and data science at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

In this webinar, Professor Hamsa Bastani will share recent research on the behavioral and economic dynamics of human-AI interaction. Drawing primarily from evidence in education, she will examine:
