Great article about the work my @Wharton friends Gideon Nave and Lennart Meincke and I have been doing on ethical advice and AI: https://t.co/aPQMTMqbdG . Thanks to the @MackInstitute funding this!

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

@WhartonSchoolPR @WSJ I think as educators at @Penn , @Wharton , and elsewhere, we should always ask "Why do we test?". In this article in @thehill I outline three reasons for testing: https://t.co/L8YDzmOQKg

Is it ok for students to use #ChatGPT? Professor @terwiesch tells the @WSJ one approach to combat misuse of the technology is to raise the bar for students, now that they have such a powerful tutor and research aide.

Note a joke ... two Germans wrote this piece...:). Our @Wharton paper asks: Can AI-based ethical advice compete with a human expert? So, Lennart Meincke and I set up a race. @nytimes writer @KAnthonyAppiah ("The Ethicist”) vs @OpenAI GPT4. The results: https://t.co/aNe34WKi1s

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Sounds like a joke setup, but it is an interesting paper: Four pastors, a rabbi, thirteen academics, and 50 MBAs were asked whether they preferred the ethical solutions proposed by the NY Times Ethicist or ones proposed by GPT-4.

...it is basically a tie. https://t.co/5HmpUlS4eD

My new @Wharton paper asks a simple question: Can AI-based ethical advice compete with a human expert? So, my @Penn friend Lennart Meincke and I set up a race. @nytimes writer @KAnthonyAppiah ("The Ethicist”) vs @OpenAI GPT4. To see the results: https://t.co/aNe34WKi1s

Exactly 30 years ago, I joined the @INSEAD PhD program. Thank you to all faculty and fellow @INSEADAlumni for making this amazing experience happen. As I sit today in my @Wharton office, my best wishes to all the incoming PhD students here and everywhere else in the world!

How can we take advantage of the hallucinations of ChatGPT? Turn them into ideas for an innovation tournament! https://t.co/Md0GE2Jt9r; check out the new book with @ktulrich on the importance of variance in innovation #InnovationTournamentHandbook

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

I had @OpenAI Chat GPT3 take my @Wharton Operations Management MBA exam. It got a B/B-. Is that good or bad news? Can we replicate this at other schools / subjects? Some implications are in this @MackInstitute report https://t.co/fFeNVyddGc

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Happy to see my new book with @ktulrich in print. Thanks for all the support from @Wharton , @Penn, @PennMedicine, and @WhartonPress . We are working on an audio book (and already have an MVP…:)

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Interesting NYTimes article on productivity measurement https://t.co/dpoDCi4D02 .
In my latest KnowledgeatWharton article https://t.co/ld1tOXgYaj I am more positive about such tools. It is just all about how you use it? What do you think?

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Why is my @Rivian unusable three months after purchase. Got lots of great suggestions. Here is a hint from my @Wharton and @coursera Ops course: the bottleneck in a process is not always where you think it is. Take a look at the following process flow diagram…

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Three months ago, I was thrilled to be one of the first receiving the @Rivian R1T. What a great car! Today, the car sits de facto unusable in the driveway. What do you think happened? (Hint: I teach my @Wharton MBA students to look for the bottleneck). Any guesses?

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Honored to see that my book with @Wharton friend and colleague Nicolaj @Siggelkow made it onto the Bloomberg’s best book list for 2020. Happy holidays and let’s stay connected in 2021 (using a #ConnectedStrategy). https://t.co/KKywrYErJU

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Very honored to see that my paper with @Hessam_Bavafa on physician work hours has received the best paper award @JournalofOpMgmt at this year's Academy of Management. Thanks to all at @Penn, @Wharton, and @MackInstitute that have supported us.

[OSCM_AOM (inactive) @OSCM_AOM]

Congratulations to the author teams Wiengarten et al. (2019) and Bavafa & Terwiesch (2019) on winning the @JournalofOpMgmt Jack Meredith Best Paper Award 2020! #AOM2020 #award

The partisan divide over #COVID continues, and it's massive. 73% of #Republicans feel comfortable about returning to their regular (pre-COVID) routines; only 23% of #Democrats are comfortable.

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

Was always interested in the question of compensating resources for emergency capacity, even if capacity ends up idle. Covid-19 is a good case study. Take a look at piece with my @Penn @PennMedicine friends @kevin_volpp and @kevinbmahoney in the @NEJM : https://t.co/rA8HF7Y5Yr

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

As an ops-professor, really shocked to see how the richest country on earth is running out of $0.60 items of PPE. Had the privilege to work with my friend @kevin_volpp and a @Penn @Wharton @PennMedicine team to build some planning tool. Check out our OpEd https://t.co/bYelcZExNA

[Christian Terwiesch @terwiesch]

I went on a 6 months twitter detox. But Sunday's virtual #WhartonGrad celebration is a good time coming back. Congratulations to @Wharton class of 2020. And congratulations and thank you to our dean @garrett_geoff for all the things he has done for the school.
