Whether or not we realize it, algorithms have taken over a big part of our lives. This technology is embedded in every major tech platform and web-enabled device we come in contact with, and influences the everyday decisions we make: what we buy, where we eat, whom we date, how we work, and more. Host Dan Loney talks with Kartik Hosanagar, Professor of Technology and Digital Business, and Marketing, at the Wharton School, to discuss his new book, A Human’s Guide to Machine Intelligence: How Algorithms Are Shaping Our Lives and How We Can Stay In Control. Kartik's research demonstrates that instead of surrendering ourselves to this world of algorithmic decision-making, we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper and a more nuanced understanding of it.

Elon Musk is under fire from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yet again for his "reckless" use of Twitter regarding Tesla company updates. The SEC is currently questioning tweets the chief executive of Tesla sent out last month about the car company’s production levels. Musk says his tweets are covered by free speech. The SEC disagrees and wants him held in contempt for violating a 2018 settlement that restricts his social media posts regarding his company. In 2018 Musk got into trouble for falsely tweeting that he was taking his company private, which caused stocks to soar. This lead to the SEC settlement in which Tesla and Musk were each fined $20 million and he had to step down as chairman of the board. Host Dan Loney talks with John Paul MacDuffie, Management Professor at the Wharton School and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation at The Mack Institute for Innovation Management, and Charles Elson, Director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, to discuss more about this recent legal turmoil and how it is affecting Tesla in the eye of the consumers on Knowledge@Wharton.
