Where AI Works: Conversations at the Intersection of AI and Industry · Judgment is the New Bottleneck · 7 May 2026 podcast

Hello and welcome back to Where AI Works, conversations at the intersection of AI and industry, brought to you by Wharton in collaboration with Accenture.

I'm your host, Matthew Bidwell.

I'm a professor of management, faculty co director of the Wharton People Analytics Initiative, and faculty director of Wharton's CHRO program.

So our goal on this podcast to try and cut through some of the noise and deliver actionable insights for business leaders, combining cutting edge research with real world case studies.

Things are changing fast, so let's get going.

Today, we're looking at what happens when AI isn't just assisting humans, but starting to run the system itself, and what that means for the people who have to make it work.

Joining me for our final interview of the season, it's my great pleasure to introduce Richard Rungen, Senior Vice President of Product at Expedia Group.

Richer, welcome to where AI works.

Before we get into the AI conversation, I wonder if you could just share a little bit about yourself with our listeners.

What does your role at Expedia Group entail and how did your career path get you there?

Well, so it sounds like kind of a background that was tailor made to prepare you for this moment, in a sense, kind of moving through all these tech firms, doing AI before AI was cool and so forth.

So did you plan all this out?

Do you feel lucky to uh to have landed up in in this position?

So there are certainly some interesting problems that we're talking about today with AI.

I mean, I think something you've said is that AI isn't just another tool, it's kind of a platform shift.

I also joined this area many moons ago.

I was slightly too late for the shift to the PC, but um I kind of saw pretty much the whole thing with internet, mobile, and cloud.

How do you think kind of AI compares with those shifts?

What's similar?
