Mitali

 

Mitali Banerjee, HEC Paris professor in Strategy & Business Policy

Mitali Banerjee studies the relationship between fame, novelty and social networks of innovators. In her research she uses machine vision algorithms (neural nets) to create large scale measures of novelty for complex products such as paintings.  Using such AI-based measures, she examines the relationship between the novelty and fame of producers over 90 years and 5 five languages.   In a related research stream, she examines  the relationship between expert vs. machine based measure of novelty. The goal of this study is to highlight how human and machine based evaluation systems interact with each other with each to aid or impede unbiased evaluation of creative output.

She completed her Ph.D. in Management from Columbia Business School. She graduated Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa with a double major in Mathematics (BS) and Economics (BA) from  the University of Rochester.  Before embarking on her PhD, she worked in investment banking and was a research associate in the Strategy division at Harvard Business School.

 


AFTERNOON PANELS DISCUSSION

AI is reshaping numerous aspects of the labor market. Workers in the gig-economy, online job platforms, executive search and performance management are all evolving with AI.

The impact of the integration of AI and robots can be multi-faceted and change how we work, communicate, think, and even run a company.

How should businesses be structured so that they benefit from AI and robotics? What governance rules – policies, regulations, collective action- can ensure we all benefit from these technologies?
