ADVANCING RESPONSIBLE AI THROUGH RESEARCH

At the Sawyer Business School, our interdisciplinary research initiative examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence across business disciplines and sectors. Our faculty conducts cutting-edge research exploring how AI technologies reshape business processes, organizational dynamics, and decision-making in finance, marketing, accounting, and management. With a focus on responsible AI adoption, our research addresses the critical balance between technological advancement and stakeholder interests, investigating ways to enhance business productivity while ensuring positive outcomes for organizations, employees, and communities. Our work particularly emphasizes the intersection of AI with healthcare management, public policy, and governance frameworks, contributing to the development of ethical and practical guidelines for AI implementation in both private and public sectors.
