TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Hamsa Bastani\, Associate Professor of Operations\, Information\, and Decisions\, and Statistics and Data Science\, Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania  Title:  Challenges in Achieving Human-AI Collaboration  Abstract:   TBA  Speaker Bio:  Hamsa Sridhar Bastani is an Associate Professor of Operations\, Information\, and Decisions (OID) and Statistics and Data Science at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania\, where she co-direct the Wharton Healthcare Analytics Lab. Her research sits at the intersection of machine learning\, operations research\, and economics. She studies how to design\, deploy\, and evaluate AI systems that empower human decision-makers and improve societal outcomes.  Professor Bastani aims to combine methodological depth with implementation in consequential environments. She has worked with national governments to deploy algorithms at the country scale for targeted border COVID-19 screening and essential medicine access\, and has co-led one of the first large field studies of generative AI tutors in high school mathematics. She studies both the mathematical properties of algorithms and the way people respond to them.  Her research has been published in leading outlets including Nature\, Management Science\, Operations Research\, and PNAS\, and has garnered numerous recognitions\, including the Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research\, the INFORMS Pierskalla Award for best healthcare paper\, and the George Nicholson Prize. Previously\, she graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 2012 with an A.M. in physics and an A.B. in physics and mathematics\, completed her PhD in Stanford's Electrical Engineering department under the supervision of Mohsen Bayati\, and spent a year as a Herman Goldstine postdoctoral fellow at IBM Research.  Location:  In person: Chambers Hall\, 600 Foster Street\, Lower Level Remote option: https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/99847338986  About the Speaker Series:  Wednesdays@NICO is a vibrant weekly seminar series focusing broadly on the topics of complex systems\, networks\, and artificial intelligence.
