January 7, 2026 9:44 am

ABOUT THE EPISODE Stefano Puntoni said AI in 2026 will be defined by specialization, not general intelligence, as models are engineered for speed, reasoning, or cost efficiency. He noted that agent systems will replace single-model workflows, allowing AI to perform tasks while other AI evaluates quality and accuracy. Puntoni said everyday AI will expand through on-device deployment, embedding intelligence into phones and consumer electronics without constant cloud dependence. He highlighted that regulation and geopolitics will increasingly shape how AI is developed and deployed across markets.

Inside the Next Phase of AI: Agents and On-Device Intelligence

January 7, 2026 9:01 am

In this clip from the Ripple Effect episode, Wharton Professor Katy Milkman explains the "fresh start effect," where time markers that signal beginnings can help us reset our relationship to our goals and ultimately help us achieve more progress. EPISODE OVERVIEW Wharton professor Katy Milkman explains the “fresh start effect,” a behavioral science finding showing that moments like New Year’s Day, Mondays, and major life changes increase motivation to pursue long-term goals. She discusses why this motivation fades, how present bias affects decisions, and why tools like automation, defaults, and planning are more effective than willpower alone. She also talks about how organizations can use timing to encourage positive behavior change and how AI may support goal follow-through. PODCAST OVERVIEW Every day, business scholars answer pressing questions in their research - but what do their insights mean for you? In this podcast, Wharton faculty dive into what inspired their studies and how their findings resonate with the world today.

Why Fair Trade Matters When Free Trade Falls Short

December 17, 2025 9:00 am

Wharton Faculty in the News

This image shows a quote from Wharton professor Ezekiel J. Emanuel from the NYTimes that reads "“If bans on phones and computers in classes were widely instituted, students might learn more ... be more willing to speak their minds in class, be more at ease ... and feel more fulfilled.” There is the NYTimes logo and a headshot of him in which he is smiling and is wearing a grey suit, blue shirt, and red tie.
This graphic shows a quote from Wharton Professor Arthur Van Benthem from Newsweek about states raising gas taxes that reads "“Estimates suggest that when gas prices double, people will drive 10-20% less in the medium run. But another important reason to tax gasoline is raising state revenues.” His headshot is in the lower right corner. He has blonde hair, is smiling, and is posed in front of an outdoor background with a tree behind him.
This graphic shows a quote from Wharton professor Lu Liu on the U.S. housing market, from the New York Times that reads “Unless the labor market weakens substantially, it seems unlikely that rates will come down to levels that will fully unlock the mortgage market.” Her headshot appears in the lower right corner. She has short hair, is smiling, and is wearing a grey suit jacket. The background is also solid, dark grey.
This graphic shows a quote from Wharton Professor Paul Nary from the Wall St Journal on the recent corporate breakup trend that reads, “In a lot of these cases, there’s an over-optimism of synergies, or believing in economies of scale that weren’t there.” His headshot appears in the bottom right corner. He is wearing dark, rectangular glasses, a dark suit, a blue shirt, and a window and building appeared out of focus in the background of his headshot.
This graphic features a quote from the Wharton School Professor Susan Wachter on the housing market and is from Marketplace. The quote reads “We have, in fact, some slight – but I have to underline slight – improvement in affordability. ... We have still near-historic lows in affordability.” Her headshot in the background has a blurred wood background, from one of the buildings t the Wharton School. In it, she has a soft smile, is wearing thin wired glasses. Her hair is short and blond. She is wearing a black suit jacket with a black shirt.
This image shows a quote from Wharton Professor Joao Gomes on the slowing down of the U.S. economy from the news source China Daily that reads, “This might be driven by some nervousness about hiring and investing by businesses in response to the new administration's changing policies.” There is a headshot of Joao smiling in the bottom right corner. He is wearing a suit. The China Daily logo also appears. And the slide has light and dark blue coloring.
