Navigating the AI Wave

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.

New Tech for Teaching

Two new tech tools for teaching are available to WSB instructors: Harmonize, an enhanced discussion platform, and Feedback Fruits, a peer evaluation tool.
