Jasmin Manseau (English & French)
Lecturer, Business Analytics & Information Systems, Telfer School of Management
Professor Manseau's research has a particular interest in information systems, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) and explores interactions between humans and intelligent systems (e.g., chatbots, Amazon Alexa for Business).
“AI chatbots have certainly advanced, but calling any chatbot "the smartest ever" is tricky because it depends on the metric we are using. Grok exceeds others on certain metrics, just as all chatbots will in different ways. Based on my research, the real question is not whether this AI is the smartest ever, but whether its intelligence actually leads to more meaningful human-AI collaboration.”

Assistant Professor, Information Systems, Telfer School of Management
Professor's Joshi research unpacks how digital technologies (including AI) shape and are shaped by the fundamental practices, processes, and strategies of organizing.
“A more important aspect to consider is that humans are becoming increasingly adept at building intelligent technologies; the progression from ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) to DeepSeek and now Grok-3 demonstrates not just advancements in AI capabilities but also our ability to develop more powerful technologies in less time and with fewer resources.”
Rafid Mahmood (English only)
Assistant Professor, Telfer School of Management
Professor Mahmood's research focuses on the operational challenges of deploying and using artificial intelligence systems.
“Early reports suggest that Grok-3 is comparable to other frontier models that have been released in the last few months. The engineering approach undertaken to develop this model combined with the rapid pace of developments suggest that we can expect even more advances in the AI race over the next few months and years.”
