Summary
In a video series by Wharton faculty on American business innovations, Bradlow discusses his viewpoint on AI and business: “We as humans are going to benefit a lot from artificial intelligence well before businesses make the type of transformations that everyone is predicting,” he said. So the reporter asked him what he thinks is the biggest bottleneck preventing companies from realizing AI’s potential—is it the technology itself, organizational change, incentives, regulation, or something else? “I think it is organizational change, and still the need for humans in the loop,” he told me. Bradlow has been at Wharton for 30 years, has led a data science program for 20 years, and has focused on AI for the past decade.
