This PDW aims to provide a forum for participants to reconsider theories of rationality and how they may be informed in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The PDW will start with a panel discussion in which six senior scholars will present different perspectives on rationality: Luciana D’Adderio, Richard Hunt, Marleen Huysman, Paolo Quattrone, Christopher Tucci, and Mark Zbaracki. After putting forward their own perspectives, the panelists will address relevant questions prepared by the organizers on AI and rationality to collectively reflect on the phenomenon. The second part of the PDW will consist of roundtable discussions facilitated by the panelists, in which participants will have an opportunity to share relevant research insights and deeply reflect on how to advance organization theory in the era of AI. In the final part of the PDW, our moderators will engage with one of the generative AI tools to understand how AI itself conceives rationality in the era of AI. 

We are looking forward to interacting with you all during our PDW! If you need more information or wish to seek any clarification, please feel free to contact the organizers, Stella Pachidi and Mayur Joshi. See you in Boston!
