Featuring leading-edge research findings from a variety of sources, Hot Topics are delivered live online without an attendance cap. Anyone from an MIT CISR member organization may register to attend once registration is open (later this month).
In this session, Professor Horton will discuss the promise and perils of using AI agents to simulate decisions and scenarios, focusing on opportunities and risks.
Dr. John J. Horton is an Associate Professor of Information Technologies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His research focuses on the intersection of labor economics, market design, and information systems. He is particularly interested in improving the efficiency and equity of matching markets.
After completing his PhD and prior to joining NYU Stern School of Business in 2013, he served for two years as the staff economist for oDesk, an online labor market.
Horton received a BS in mathematics from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a Ph.D. in public policy from Harvard University.

Once registration is open, you'll need to log-in to your MIT CISR website account and enter your voucher code on the registration form. Links to the registration forms for both sessions will be available below in mid- to late June.
