    Can AI Companies Regulate Themselves?

    12/08/2026 | 13 min
    As AI becomes more powerful, who should be responsible for governing it?

    Kevin Werbach, Wharton Professor and Chair of Legal Studies and Business Ethics, explores the growing challenges of AI governance, from accountability and safety to the difficulty of creating effective regulations across countries. He explains why AI companies can't be expected to regulate themselves and why governments need to play a more constructive role in managing the risks of increasingly powerful AI.

    Will the Government Bail Out Your 401(k) in a Market Crash?

    07/08/2026 | 18 min
    What happens to your 401(k) if the stock market drops 25%, and would the government step in to help?

    Nikolai Roussanov, finance professor at the Wharton School, explains the real risks behind modern retirement investing and why volatility is built into the system.
    From the 1987 crash to COVID-19, he breaks down how markets recover, why long term investors tend to win, and why bailouts are more likely to support companies, not individual portfolios. If you’re relying on a 401(k), this episode will reshape how you think about risk, recovery, and protection.

    Why Prediction Markets Are More Than a Passing Trend

    29/07/2026 | 15 min
    Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly visible part of sports, politics, business, and culture. But what makes them different from traditional betting?

    Abraham Wyner, Wharton Professor of Statistics and Data Science and Co-Director of the Wharton Sports Analytics and Business Initiative, explains the wisdom-of-crowds theory behind prediction markets, how these platforms make money, and why their structure creates a different relationship between bettors and the market. He also examines regulation, the risks of gambling, and whether prediction markets and sportsbooks can continue growing alongside one another.
