BEworks is thrilled to have contributed a chapter in ‘What Works, What Doesn’t (and When)’ showcasing our work to reduce fare evasion in Santiago, Chile. This project highlights the importance of testing different interventions to ensure that investments in solutions are aligned to what works and demonstrates the effectiveness of behavioral approaches in combatting fare evasion, a global and pernicious problem. More broadly, this volume, and the other books in the BI Org book series, are essential reading for anyone seeking to apply behavioral science to thorny challenges across a range of sectors, and BEworks is grateful to BEAR - Behavioural Economics in Action at Rotman for the opportunity to share our cases, approach, and philosophy within this series.

At our recent event Bridging the Human-AI gap: the Indispensable Role of Behavioural Science, we spent the evening discussing the necessity for AI to be built with and for humans. It was a privilege to host two engaging panel discussions on this topic, led by Jennifer Weeks, Ph.D. and Nathaniel Barr. Our first panel featured Ron Norris (Director of Innovation at Georgia Pacific) and Rajib Saha (Co-founder and CEO of parabole.ai). It focused on the role of human behaviour in causal AI. We discussed the components of causal AI – knowledge, data and causality, how causal AI differs from traditional machine learning, and what types of challenges we can solve with causal AI. Our second panel featured Dr. Melaina T Vinski, MSc, PhD (Associate Client Partner of Behavioural Science and AI and Analytics at IBM) and Dr. Jason Plaks (Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto). We learned about two different perspectives – academic and industry - on the role of behavioural science in AI adoption. We discussed how AI is changing the way organizations are run, public attitude towards different types of AI, and how behavioural science can predict human adoption of AI. #AIAdoption #BehaviouralScience #AITransformation #Innovation #TechAdoption #CausalAI #AIPredictors

🌟Tonight, BEworks had the pleasure of hosting an event on Bridging the Human-AI Gap: The Indispensable Role of Behavioural Science. We thank everyone who attended to learn more about how technology and the science of human behavior can be united to advance key outcomes for individuals, business, and society. 💡 There were engaging discussions on the role of human behaviour in causal AI, how AI is changing the way organizations are run, and how behavioural science can predict the adoption of different types of AI. A special thank you to our featured panelists for leading these discussions: - Ron Norris (Director, Innovation, Georgia Pacific) - Rajib Saha (Co-founder & CEO, parabole.ai) - Dr. Melaina T Vinski, MSc, PhD  (Associate Client Partner, Behavioural Science and AI and Analytics, IBM) - Dr. Jason Plaks (Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Toronto) 👉 Interested in learning more? We invite you to read about our AI Adoption Index. It is a unique survey tool powered by insights from behavioural science to measure and enhance how AI tools are adopted across your organization.

In a world brimming with the potential of AI, how can we ensure it enhances rather than replaces human endeavors? Dive into the intersection of technology and human behavior with leading minds in AI and behavioral science at the ‘Bridging the Human-AI Gap: The Indispensable Role of Behavioural Science’ event hosted by BEworks. This event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 28, 2024, from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM ET at the BEworks office 946 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1G8. During our event, our panelists will delve into some of the most pressing questions in the realm of AI and behavioral science. Expect illuminating discussions on: - What research is being done to enhance trust in AI? - How can causal AI unlock new insights into society’s “wicked problems”? - What do we know about how people are using generative AI at work? - What predictions for the future do researchers and practitioners have We are happy to announce that the event is SOLD OUT! Looking forward to seeing all the registered guests at our office!

Earlier this week, BEworks' Wardah M. took to the C2 stage with Timothy Caulfield, acclaim professor of Law at University of Alberta, Faculty of Law and Jared Genser, General Counsel for The Neurorights Foundation and Perseus Strategies to discuss the advancements in neurotech, the utopian and dystopian future possibilities that stand before us, and the legal protections that need to be put in place for people using such technologies. Let us know what you think. Do you intend to use #neurotech? Do you believe the ability to download our thoughts and dreams is a near-term possibility? How should policy and product be designed to protect consumer rights?
