A periodic blog about teaching written by Karin Spader, PhD | Associate Director of Professional Programming.
Navigating the AI Wave (March, 2024)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant future, but a present reality impacting numerous industries, including education. Within business schools, a specific branch of AI – generative AI (GenAI) – has sparked both excitement and apprehension. Tools like ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, and Gemini offer new possibilities for teaching and learning, but also raise questions about academic integrity, employability, and the future of faculty roles.
