Generative AI
As the interest in generative AI (genAI) grows, there is an urgent need to understand its current capabilities, limits, and their implications for business. In this page you will find several resources coordinated by the Center for Intelligent Business to help business leaders navigate this exciting technology.
Research
Several faculty members at Tepper are involved in research at the intersection of genAI and business. Here are some recent examples:
- How Much Should We Trust LLM Results for Marketing Research? by Liying Qiu, Param Vir Singh, and Kannan Srinivasan (Jul, 2023)
- Bias in Generative AI by Mi Zhou, Vibhanshu Abhishek, Kannan Srinivasan (Aug, 2023)
