Our comprehensive approach combines faculty upskilling initiatives with the development of clear, ethical guidelines for AI use in education. Our task forces, comprising expert faculty across business disciplines, work to establish balanced frameworks that leverage AI’s capabilities while preserving academic integrity and essential human elements of teaching. This integrated approach ensures our students develop both technical proficiency and critical thinking skills necessary for leadership in an AI-transformed business environment.
