Both in the popular press and in scientific literature, it is often assumed that people are quite wary of agentic (i.e, smart) forms of technology. Yet, at the same time, there is also widespread enthusiasm about the prospects of such technologies, and the use of certain forms (e.g., search algorithms) is widespread, seemingly contradicting this assumed wariness. In this project, Dr. Gijs van Howelingen - professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Amsterdam for the Strategy & International Business Section - sets to investigate if both these suggestions, viz., the expectations that people are suspicious of agentic technologies and are enthusiastic about them, are correct. On the 11th of May at 1 P.M. CET, find out more about this topic in a conversation with Chris Starke - postdoctoral researcher in Responsible AI for the RPA Human(e) AI.
