The grant recognizes faculty who work across disciplinary boundaries on complext problems. The research will build on an initial university-wide workshop on artificial intelligence that the Penn Program on Regulation convened in January at Penn Law. She and her collegue will connect scholars from across at least six schools at Penn to analyze the institutional and policy challenges that government agencies must confront to be able to use machine learning as an effective partner to enhance both governmental decision making and the delivery of government services.
