Richard Landers, PhD. – Integrating AI Technology and Organizational Psychology

Steve and Alexis talk with Richard Landers, Professor of Industrial Organizational Psychology at the University of Minnesota about building AI technology that is informed by psychological science.  We focus specifically on the use of AI to support candidate selection and employee development.  Some things we cover:

• The change management challenges caused by the rapid speed of AI innovation
• The challenge of building effective AI agents for tasks where effective human performance is poorly defined
• The risk of doing things because they are new and different but not necessarily better

We also hear Steve share a tale from his childhood about his dad acting like a robot.
