What happens when #AI meets a “publish or perish” culture?
#IEOR PhD students argue that when careers hinge on output volume & venue prestige, researchers face pressure to cut corners, with or without AI. What does that mean for research integrity?#ICYMI: bit.ly/3NhoqqF
Thinking about a UC Berkeley IEOR PhD? Don't let myths about experience or funding hold you back. Swipe to see what's fact vs. fiction! #BerkeleyIEOR #PhDAdmissions #GradSchool

Can auctions be designed to outsmart collusion in an era of AI & automated bidding?
#ICYMI, researchers from #BerkeleyIEOR are tackling this challenge head-on. Read to explore their proposed hybrid auction design: bit.ly/4tth0zJ
#AI can write code faster than most engineers.
The question is: where does human expertise matter? #BerkeleyIEOR PhD students argue real engineering isn’t just writing code—it’s making decisions that hold up in complex contexts.
