Research by Warren Center faculty affiliate Hamsa Bastani shows that giving learners on-demand AI assistance can erode practice, “productive struggle,” and long-term skill growth—even when they know it harms their learning. knowledge.wharton.up...
Penn Today spoke with David Meaney, vice provost for research, about the research initiatives at Penn, the institution's priorities, future growth plans, and how these efforts are improving lives.

“Even when AI is used with good intentions, the systems themselves can cause harm because of what’s baked into them from the very start,” said Warren Center affiliate Chris Callison-Burch. “AI is learning from internet data, which reflects us, our society and our history.” www.seas.upenn.edu/s...

Hi bluesky! I was wondering whether you know of any papers that discuss how much easier it is to do a replication study with agentic AI (eg Codex/Claude Code). In the absence of code, it seems like that's a great way to test whether the models reported in a paper were the ones that were fit, etc.
Warren Center faculty affiliate René Vidal views AI as particularly useful for capturing high-quality MRI scans with fewer measurements. That speeds up the process and allows more patients to be seen in the same amount of time.
Baird Howland (Ph.D. ‘25) looks at prominent narratives in the news media and how they shape Americans’ worldviews:
Prof. René Vidal’s group at the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Laboratory explored this problem in their recent publication titled “SECA: Semantically Equivalent and Coherent Attacks for Eliciting LLM Hallucinations”...
