Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Denmark is best in EU in getting workers back into jobs (twice the average rate). They also do tons of RCTs to find out what works and apply behavior science. Can’t say it’s causal, but it’s an interesting correlation at least. 073
Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I have been thinking whether I can somehow include it in my fall class, but its a bit far off topic for that one. But I‘ll recommend it to others and my students in general. I shared it on LinkedIn a while back as well to counter the hype. 020
Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I still have one of your „bullshit“ talks (from 2021) as a homework assignment for my students and have them choose their favorite bullshit examples and then we discuss them in class.

Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Thanks, that one indeed looks good. But also here it’s more a lab in the field experiment with clearly defined tasks. It is not obvious that the productivity gains will translate to real legal work and thus markedly increase productivity. But it’s a good step. 010
Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Only one year after replacing their customer service and marketing team with AI agents, Klarna is regretting the decision and trying to re-hire workers. The quality was just too low to justify the cost-savings.

Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 17/05/2025This also raises some questions about PhD supervision and data protection at MIT - some supervisor would have needed to sign a data sharing agreement and a secure server would have been needed for the data. That’s a lot of paperwork. 1337

Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 16/05/2025I think the study is interesting, but the total time of the study was 5 hours, the tasks were carefully chosen, and the consultants who participated selected. I think there is no doubt that AI can speed up coding or writing, but I haven't seen much on how that impacts firm productivity. 210
Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 16/05/2025And harm to the companies using results like this to spend billions on tools that don't work. So far there is very little evidence that AI tools increase productivity for complex tasks. This fake study was one of the only ones. 160
Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 16/05/2025One of the best AI papers on productivity turned out to be made up - so disappointing! I really liked the paper and had it saved as „best paper on AI“. Too good to be true! As much of AI claims to fame. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...msn.comMSN 140

Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Nobody likes to feel ashamed all the time, so if we want to encourage more sustainable behavior we 1) need to be careful with moral appeals, and 2) make sure to target behaviors that really make a difference.

Christina Gravert @cgravert.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Those who can best evaluate their peers also stand in direct competition to these peers - that creates incentives for dishonesty.
