The MBA Transformed? AI and Beyond

CBS's assessment

What will workers do in the AI age? It’s a vexing political question — and an urgent management challenge. Business leaders at Columbia Business School aren’t going to wait for academia to figure out how to train the next generation to be AI-native, if such a thing can even be defined yet. Unlike the reskilling efforts of the past (for instance, teaching people how to code), this one feels less about helping workers and more about an existential need for companies to adapt to the AI wave, or risk being left behind by fast-moving competitors or disruptive startups.
