An important HBS innovation: giving all of our MBA students the opportunity to learn about the business implications of climate change - even before they arrive on campus.

Really excited to see our paper w/@manlikemishap @thankyourniceAi @sj_manning out today in @sciencemagazine. Link here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… tl;dr: Studying where LLMs might affect workers, we find that GPTs are GPTs! But what does that mean and how did we do it? 🧵
I saw this recently presented by @5harad. It took me a second to understand fully, but I then realized it’s actually really intuitive and valuable. My favorite kind of research!
I am very excited that my paper, coauthored with @5harad and @JulianNyarko (“Risk Scores, Label Bias, and Everything but the Kitchen Sink”) was published today at Science Advances.

Full circle moment when I hosted my @ETHSWildkits (and Unity Nursery School) classmate @astroteller of @Theteamatx at @HarvardHBS. Great to discuss moonshots and the importance of being willing to share bad ideas.

My new article is out! In it I explain how to reduce the odds of your data science projects failing by carefully considering 5 steps: selection, development, evaluation, adoption, and management!
Most AI projects fail, as high as 80% — almost double the rate of corporate IT project failures from a decade ago. But approaches exist to increase the odds of success. hbr.org/2023/11/keep-your-ai…

Our new working paper investigating the effects of GPT-4 on consultants, through experiments with Boston Consulting Group. Worth a read if you’re interested in how Generative AI may continue to have nuanced impacts on firm and individual productivity.
🚨We have a new working paper on AI & work🚨
In pre-registered experiments at BCG, the elite consulting firm, consultants using the GPT-4 AI finished 12.2% more tasks, completed tasks 25.1% more quickly & produced 40% higher quality results. Big gains. 1/ oneusefulthing.org/p/centaur…

This fall I'll be teaching a new online Mixtape class on design-based regression/IV analysis
The content will draw on my graduate applied 'metrics class at Brown, and will assume a basic knowledge of causal inference tools and regression mechanics
Sign up now! Discounts for students and those in low-income countries, as usual!

Kudos to Reviewer #3, who closed w/ this:
"Praise for the authors:
I try to end all of my reviews with areas of the paper I really liked because I know reviews can be hard to read. So here are a few areas of the paper where I thought the writing really shined."

How is generative AI like #ChatGPT impacting the classroom?
@eddy_mac_3 compared it to other educational tools and found that while they're user-friendly, tools like ChatGPT can be quick and efficient, but aren't necessarily accurate. foxnews.com/media/ai-experts…
