Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries worldwide, and higher education is no exception. Much like other transformative innovations before it, AI-powered language models have introduced new opportunities and challenges, changing the way students learn and how instructors teach. As these technologies continue to evolve, educators must not only understand their potential but also adapt them to meet specific learning goals, enhance engagement, and maintain academic integrity.
At Columbia Business School, the Arthur J. Samberg Institute for Teaching Excellence serves as a guiding force in this ongoing transformation, equipping faculty with the knowledge, tools, and strategies they need to leverage generative AI for effective teaching. By promoting experimentation, collaboration, and innovation, the Institute helps faculty uncover creative ways to integrate generative AI into the classroom.
This page is designed to be your hub for everything related to teaching and learning with generative AI at CBS. From practical tools and resources to pedagogical support and real-world examples, we aim to empower educators to harness generative AI to unlock new possibilities in business education.
Build a strong foundation in generative AI with clear explanations and practical tips to help you confidently navigate and utilize this transformative technology.
Discover how generative AI can transform your teaching approach and empower student learning with practical strategies, expert insights, and innovative solutions.
Access tools and resources curated by the Samberg Institute to support the integration of generative AI and drive innovation in the classroom.
Samberg’s consultations help faculty members find the best generative AI tools and technology-based resources to develop and plan their curriculum. Through our hands-on coaching and class observation, faculty learn how to use generative AI to assist in creating a course roadmap that includes course objectives, pre-work, assignments, and final deliverables.
In collaboration with the Samberg Institute, the Dean's Office invites faculty to submit proposals for the Empowering Learning Through EdTech: RFP (Request for Proposal). Samberg will help you identify technologies that best align with your teaching goals and learning outcomes, ensuring you get the most out of these tools.
With Samberg’s Generative AI Events, the CBS community can gain valuable insights into how to leverage AI in higher education and transform teaching practices. Visit our Events page to explore detailed information about past events, access recordings, or register for an exciting upcoming event.
Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh featured in The Wall Street Journal on the economics of the AI investment boom. His research is cited as the basis for an estimate that AI companies would need to generate roughly $3.5 trillion in annual revenue by 2032—about 8.8% of U.S. GDP—to justify the enormous capital being invested in AI infrastructure.
