Where AI Works: Conversations at the Intersection of AI and Industry · How AI is Reshaping Skills, Hiring, and Education · 26 Mar 2026 podcast

Every time I speak, the number one question anybody asks me is what should my child be studying?

And I'll tell you, the WASX, the Warten eccentric skills index, provides an empirically based answer to that question.

Eric.

Well, I think as Wharton's Vice Dean of AI and Analytics, it's kind of a tautological question about how I feel about AI.

In some ways it's been interesting, Matthew, because, you know, like maybe even longer than you, I've been at Wharton for thirty years.

And twenty years ago I kind of had the revelation, which is when I started all of this, that big data science, in other words, the more granular data that companies were going to be able to measure was

Going to be a big deal tied towards driving growth.

Ten years ago, not the generative AI we have now, but AI more generally, being able to ingest video data, rich data, was going to be a big deal.

So we actually started a center on AI here at Wharton 10 years ago when a lot of people kind of jumped in two or three years ago.

Like James, I'm extremely optimistic that AI is not only going to improve productivity, but I think

think about the things that parts of my job that I enjoy a little bit less.

Well, AI can replace a bunch of that.

I think about all the things I just cannot do or couldn't do before that AI supports me in doing.

So I think uh not only do I think the Wharton Accenture Skills Index is crucial to understanding what our students are going to do and what we should be teaching, but I think it's crucially important that businesses understand

and where AI is going.

So I'm extraordinarily excited about this and I'm happy to tell you as well about what we're doing at Wharton AI and Analytics to try to make all of this happen from the educational side.

So maybe I'll just start with a few things.

I'll answer your question, and then I want to build a couple things on what James just said as well.

Um, first, if you think about the way most organizations are designed, the classic org structure, they have titles and roles.

So you might have a president, you might have a bunch of senior vice presidents, you might have a bunch of managers, et cetera, et cetera.
