Ethan Mollick's AI Forecast for 2026: Trends to Watch

December 19, 2025 10:00 am

Latest

Wharton Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Corinne Low explains why food safety is a public good and why families can't realistically take over the government's role in monitoring pathogens, inspecting facilities and responding to outbreaks.

She discusses the consequences of reduced staffing, weakened inspections and changes to disease surveillance—and why these changes can leave consumers more exposed to foodborne illness.
The conversation also explores the responsibility of food companies, the long-term cost of cutting corners and why government oversight can give families the freedom to simply trust the food they buy.

AI Is Everywhere. Are We Ready?

August 19, 2026 2:07 pm

ABOUT THE EPISODE
AI has already permeated nearly every part of society and the economy, but how should we manage the risks as the technology becomes more powerful?

Peter Conti-Brown, Professor at the Wharton School, explores whether bank supervision could offer a useful model for overseeing AI companies. 

The conversation examines the difference between regulation and supervision, the possibility of AI stress tests, and how regulators could prepare for scenarios ranging from model failures to geopolitical attacks.

But banking isn't a perfect blueprint. AI presents unique risks, raising a fundamental question: when private companies take enormous risks developing AI, who ultimately holds the bag?
