Ethan Mollick

Ethan Mollick is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Co-Intelligence. He writes One Useful Thing, a publication about the implications of artificial intelligence for work, education, and daily life. His research-oriented approach connects changing capabilities to specific tasks and human decisions.

One Useful Thing is a publication rather than a software product. Its value comes from explanations, examples, and experiments that translate model developments into questions people can act on: what to delegate, how to evaluate a response, and where a person’s judgment remains essential.

A teacher, manager, or independent creator can use the essays as a starting point for designing a small experiment in their own work. The linked Wharton resources extend that reading into prompts and educational material. Results should be assessed against the actual task, especially when decisions affect other people.

Radar follows Mollick because adoption is as much about habits and institutions as it is about models. His work helps connect a new capability to the way people learn and collaborate. Following the publication offers context for interpreting tool announcements without treating a single demonstration as a universal result.
