The dark side of AI’s promised efficiencies: artificial intelligence can use data and algorithms in a way that prioritises rationality over values such as fairness and quality of education, @UAlberta’s @glaserv writes on #THECampus bit.ly/3DtBpg3

The hype around ChapGPT masks an infrastructure that depends on humans to tag training data — for pennies — and a tech stack that is so costly to buy and operate that the scale required for break even is hard to imagine. theverge.com/features/237645…

"Are we ready for #AI to raise the dead? ... This is not remotely the first time we’ve faced a we-can-but-should-we moment as a society ... It may even spawn a new concept: the right to remain dead." esquire.com/news-politics/a4…

This is an interesting look at the dark side of #AI from #UAlberta researcher @glaserv
Artificial intelligence has vast potential to benefit society — from medical diagnostics to fraud prevention — but human judgment and values need to be factored in, says #UAlberta researcher who looked at what can happen when #AI fails. @UAlbertaBiz ualberta.ca/folio/2023/04/st…

Nice new paper by Dean Shepherd, Stella Seyb, and @profgerrygeorge on how instantiating business models as formal, cognitive/linguistic, and real/physical boundary objects can help entrepreneurs identify and overcome business model incoherence. (1/3) journals.aom.org/doi/full/10…

Important piece by @glaserv and colleagues @tineadam @mehreenashraf91“The potential devastating effect of using algorithms: rationality as preferred conduct and efficiency as preferred end taking over all other values, becoming ultimate values in and of themselves”
1/Dirk Lindebaum, Christine Moser @tineadam, Mehreen Ashraf @mehreenashraf91 and I have just published a new article in @mitsmr of relevance to people and organizations interested in how #ArtificialInteligence solutions get deployed in organizations. sloanreview.mit.edu/article/…

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat. A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine. Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

@nathan_furr reflecting on the fact that experimentation might mean different things. Got me thinking of this passage from a new paper by Vern Glaser (@glaserv) and Michael Lounsbury. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #AOM2022
Vern Glaser retweeted
In “Designing Legitimacy: Expanding the scope of cultural entrepreneurship” @glaserv & Michael Lounsbury use Schön to enrich cultural entrepreneurship by viewing entrepreneurs as artfully prototyping stories in dialogue with different audiences. (8/9) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Friends, Musk/Twitter headlines are all variants of ‘what will Elon do?’ It’s a signal of how lost we are. We obsess over one man and his whims because we don’t yet have the democratic rule of law needed to govern our information spaces. Without law power is dangerous.🧵[1/8]

Presented “The Artifacts of Entrepreneurial Practice”, coauthored with Vern Glaser, at the 7th Annual @EntasPractice Conference. It is included in the “Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship as Practice”. Here is my one-slide summary (and riff on a classic line).

In our new paper on 'automated' trading @ThijsW83 & I argue that automation = fantasy of a God's eye view of work🦅 augmentation treats tech as prosthetic👓 But digital transformation reconfigures work: how & even what workers 'see' changes🌐 #OpenAccess authors.elsevier.com/c/1e4Q4…

Thrilled to share the news that our article "A New Tool for Policymakers: Mapping Cultural Possibilities in an Emerging AI Entrepreneurial Ecosystem" has been accepted at Research Policy! In this, we extend ecosystems in cultural terms,using topic modeling to track cultural holes
