My recent research with my colleague J. Mauricio Galli Geleilate is out in @mitsmr ⬇️
Our latest research suggests that when managers interact with GenAI tools to help make decisions, the tools may inadvertently nudge them toward a more rigid and mechanistic approach. Specifically, our study reveals that when managers used ChatGPT to assist with solving a problem related to employee behavior and working conditions, they were more likely to propose control-oriented rather than people-oriented solutions.

New @BrookingsInst research with @UMassLowell @bkhumberd on the impact of #AI & #AutonomousVehicles on the #gender imbalance of household labor. Can we really reduce the mental load of coordinating, organizing, planning, deciding, etc.?

This #InternationalEqualPayDay, @lizaltman & @bkhumberd find that #AI and #AVs "hold great promise in improving the gendered division of labor in households" in a new @BrookingsInst working paper ⬇️ brookings.edu/articles/the-g…

Women disproportionately manage household labor, including domestic tasks, child-rearing, and elder care. Can AI help alleviate the burden? @sanjay_patnaik, @KatyaH_kenkyuu, @lizaltman, and @bkhumberd discuss today at 2 PM EDT. RSVP: brookings.edu/events/ai-emer…

Tomorrow, join @KatyaH_kenkyuu, @lizaltman, @bkhumberd, and @sanjay_patnaik for an event discussing the role of AI and domestic labor.
Are there areas of household labor tasks that can benefit from the application of emerging technologies? Tune in tomorrow #AIDomesticLabor

…which means we need to think very hard before we consider bringing those measures back again in this era of high immunity and low severity of #COVID19.
Doing so will kick the can down the road.

End of Fall semester @UMassLowell and my @ManningUML Org Behavior students are feeling a (hopefully healthy) mix of tired, educated, exhausted, relieved, stressed, knowledgeable, busy….and HAPPY!

What would an RCT on mask harms tell us? That these people’s experiences don’t matter? That they are lying? That they are in the minority and the minority doesn’t count? That when they say they can’t bear the thought of going back to that, we shouldn’t care?

Wonderful to have future River Hawks in the Manning School of Business today as many public schools were off to accommodate Election Day! A win for us! Bonus teaching oppty with our global flag display! How many flags can you name? @ManningUML @UMassLowell
Our campus is so beautiful this time of year

Is it true; people in academia don’t sync their calendars? Like, when you need to arrange a meeting with a colleague it’s a back and forth email conversation until you find an available date/time. Coming from the tech world, I’m in shock. #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

Why we fought for open schools in MA. This wasn’t hard to predict, and it surely wasn’t necessary for multiple years on end. Sadly, children will pay the price for these poor policy decisions for decades to come.
