We wrote this paper with colleagues @Unibocconi to answer a question everyone is asking. What should we teach in school when everyone has AI? Our experiment points to one answer--causal reasoning. Explaining why something works, when it might fail, and what others have missed.
Training novices to think in the age of large language models

Dealing with difficult people may be hazardous to your health.
Data: Each additional "hassler" in your network predicts 1.5% faster biological aging—and worse health a year later. Non-spouse family hasslers are the most problematic.
Some ties aren't worth the toll they take.

Berkeley won the Sayash Sweepstakes! Though it's sad for the rest of us, I am so very excited for you, Professor Kapoor 👏
Thrilled to share that I am joining UC Berkeley as an Assistant Professor in the School of Information!
I start in Fall 2027, and I am recruiting PhD students this cycle. List me in your application if you're interested in frontier AI evaluation, AI policy, and AI's impacts on institutions such as science, law, and medicine.
I'm especially keen to work with students interested not just in high-quality research, but also in communicating it with a broad audience such as by public writing and policy impact. Fill out the form in the next tweet to indicate your interest.
As for this coming year, I'm moving to Berkeley this fall to start something new with @RishiBommasani and @random_walker. We'll have much more to share soon.
It is so important to recognize the vital role of scientific innovation as we contemplate America's 250th birthday. I highly recommend these thoughtful, nuanced pieces on the subject recently published in Science by my colleagues @SharonBelenzon , Ashish Arora, and @daniel_p_gross : lnkd.in/eMJDydEw & lnkd.in/eguVhbJD
And while you are at it, please consider making a public comment on this new OMB directive that will strongly influence the future of America's university-centric innovation ecosystem: lnkd.in/e7rTterS

The biggest shift in AI for work may be the move from chat to delegation.
In a new paper, we study how Codex usage evolved over the past year - especially within @OpenAI - as agentic tools became more capable.
We saw an expansion of users and usage in this time.
