Co-Director, Wharton Human-AI Research and Wharton Professor Stefano Puntoni discusses how generative AI can influence employee competence, autonomy, and relatedness, drawing on self-determination theory. He addresses both potential benefits, such as advanced analytics and workflow integration, and threats, including job security concerns, autonomy loss, and team alienation. This is an excerpt from a full-length Ripple Effect podcast episode.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Wharton Professor Stefano Puntoni talks about how generative AI is reshaping not just tasks, but the way employees psychologically relate to their work. He explores AI’s potential to either strengthen or undermine core human needs like competence, autonomy, and connection. Puntoni lays out why a successful AI strategy needs more than just good tech—it also requires clear leadership and authentic communication with employees. He looks at how uncertainty around AI adoption impacts morale and outlines five ways workers tend to cope, from proactive upskilling to quiet withdrawal. He also warns against framing AI purely as a cost-cutting tool, arguing that companies must grapple with what it means for people’s roles, careers, and sense of value.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping creative work, offering individuals a boost in generating novel ideas—but also raising concerns about originality at scale. Wharton Professor Gideon Nave discusses his research shows that while these models can enhance personal creativity, they often lead to more uniform outputs across groups, reducing diversity of thought. This "sprinkler effect" highlights the tradeoff between efficiency and true innovation in competitive environments. Companies already experimenting with AI-driven creativity may find short-term gains, but long-term challenges in maintaining unique perspectives.

Crypto markets face risks of fraud due to little regulation and easy entry for creators. Common issues include pump-and-dump schemes, wash trading, and manipulation.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Crypto regulation presents complex challenges as digital assets blur traditional boundaries between securities, commodities, and other financial instruments. In this episode, host and Wharton professor Itay Goldstein speaks with Tim Massad, formerly at the CTFC, currently at Harvard Kennedy School and Wharton professor Jessica Wachter, formerly at the SEC, examines how SEC and CFTC roles intersect, why coordination—not just fragmentation—is a key issue, and how the regulatory status of tokens can evolve over time. It also explores the systemic risk potential of stablecoins and cases of fraud in lightly regulated crypto markets.

This discussion is part of a special series called “Future of Finance: The Rise of Crypto and Digital Money.”

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Wharton professor Hamsa Bastani discusses the use of AI tools like Google Gemini in K–12 schools, sometimes with unrestricted student access. She notes that this can lead to overreliance, make it harder to build fundamental skills, and reduce motivation by removing the sense of accomplishment. She says budget limits and lack of teacher training often lead schools to adopt AI in the “path of least resistance” without tailored guardrails. Bastani also warns that AI use can reduce interaction between students, teachers, and parents.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Wharton Professor Maurice Schweitzer discusses how organizations manage high-performing employees who come into conflict with senior leadership. Using examples from both the corporate world and professional sports, he highlights how personality differences and power dynamics can lead to the departure of valuable individuals. He also examines what often happens after such departures and why internal processes may not be sufficient to resolve conflicts at the highest levels.
