Becoming the academic authority on the application of AI and analytics to fuel business innovation
The Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative (WAIAI) is advancing the exploration of cutting-edge technology and development of analytics methods in modern business, with the keen understanding that artificial intelligence and data science is transforming how we live, learn, and work. Led by Vice Dean Eric Bradlow — professor of marketing, statistics and data science, economics, and education — WAIAI spearheads innovative student learning experiences, faculty research opportunities, and thought partnerships with industry experts and practitioners. Our initiative also extends to K-12 education, preparing the next generation to leverage AI to its full potential, and the retraining of workers through online content and our in-person executive education programs.
