ABOUT THE EPISODE
Wharton Business Daily host Dan Loney talks with Christian Terwiesch, Wharton Professor of Operations, Information & Decisions, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping customer service. Terwiesch unpacks the cost-quality trade-off, showing where chatbots like ChatGPT lift efficiency yet still require a human-in-the-loop for complex cases. They examine AI’s multilingual, persuasive strengths, the challenge of scaling “customer delight,” and the emerging hybrid workflow of AI-augmented agents. Looking ahead, Terwiesch forecasts fuller automation within a decade as companies push for better service at lower cost while keeping pace with rising consumer expectations.

Wharton School Professor Peter Conti-Brown explains how the process of regulating and supervising banks is democratic in this excerpt from a full length Ripple Effect podcast episode part of the current series, "Meet the Authors."

Allon explains how temporary fixes, like task forces, fail to address systemic issues and emphasizes the need for long-term infrastructure planning, technological upgrades, and stakeholder alignment.
