On the Road to Accountable AI, I spoke with Georgia Tech's @munmun10 about what researchers actually know about AI’s impacts -- positive and negative -- for mental health.

@ahall_research In one section last term, I gave students the choice of a written submission or AI-built tool for a focused audit of ChatGPT. Evaluating the built submissions was challenging. But I hope it will help inform the next round of experiments.

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

@ahall_research No question experiments are what's needed! At Wharton, most classes are capped at 60 (or 78 for the core); mine are usually full. I suspect the only way to assess AI-built tools at that scale is by using AI. Which shouldn't be off the table. But how to do so authentically?

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

@ProfArbel Agreed. My worry is that so much of teaching is idiosyncratic. (Like, I don't know what an exam memo is. Maybe law schools are more uniform in teaching methods?)

But that's OK; we're all going to have to be builders thanks to AI, so we professors should all learn too.

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

Holistic AI co-CEO @EmreKazim_ joined me on The Road to Accountable AI to discuss the evolution of AI governance, and why technical research and evaluation capacity are increasingly essential.

New op-ed with @Petercontibrown, based on our research on bank supervision as a model for frontier AI safety oversight

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

AI regulation needs a “bank examiner.” An expert body to supervise risk is a much more promising model than the FDA or product-safety laws, write @Petercontibrown and @kwerb

On The Road to Accountable AI, I spoke with Rumman Chowdhury about responsible AI in 2026, Independent Verification Org legislation, why AI evals are still immature, the risks of cutting entry-level hiring, and why discernment is the word of the year.

@wstv_lizzi What do Chinese authorities see as their country's structural advantages in agentic AI?

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

Most AI governance guidance is built for large enterprises. But half of American workers are in firms under 500 employees.

On The Road to Accountable AI, Var Shankar breaks down how to give smaller organizations access to AI governance tools.

New episode of The Road to Accountable AI: I talk with Katie Fowler of the @TR_Foundation about their new report analyzing AI governance practices at 3,000 companies worldwide. The findings are striking.

Is seeing (or hearing) no longer believing?

Apple, Google, Oracle, and xAI down. My master plan to have Penn grads running every major tech company is proceeding well. The non-Quakers suspect nothing.

And everyone will talk about AJ being disgruntled and Russini helping out Vrabel, when it's really all about the upcoming extensions for Quinyon, DeJean, and Carter to extend the Eagles' Superbowl window. This seems obvious, no?

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

So am I understanding correctly that the handshake deal with the Pats for AJ Brown is a 2027 3rd and a 2028 1st? The Eagles will say they got their asking price, and NE will say they got their guy for nothing this year.

[Kevin Werbach @kwerb]

My guest this week on The Road to Accountable AI, @PhilipDawson of Armilla AI, makes the case for AI insurance as a tool for accountability.
