As the interest in genAI grows, there is an urgent need to understand its current capabilities, limits, and their implications for  business. The CIB wants to help business leaders navigate this exciting technology. 

GenAI Fellows

The GenAI fellows conduct research to enhance the understanding of genAI applications in functional areas of business and make resources and research available to business leaders who engage with the center.

The 2024 genAI fellows will develop‬‭ targeted‬‭ research‬‭ proposals to formulate‬‭ and‬‭ suggest‬‭ methodologies‬‭ for‬‭ solving‬‭ a‬‭ business‬‭ research‬‭ problem‬ facilitated‬‭ by‬‭ genAI,‬‭ or‬‭ study‬‭ the‬‭ management‬‭ challenges‬‭ or‬‭ impact‬‭ of‬‭ genAI‬‭ on‬‭ businesses‬‭ and‬ the economy.‬

Projects include:

• explore techniques for using generative AI to enhance human decision making in contexts where groups need to balance optimal output with the need for diverse inputs.
• research ethical policies that should guide the development of companies’ benchmarks for safety and fairness.
• explore how generative AI tools can help optimize automated recommendations, ensuring they are better suited to users’ preferences.
