Columbia Business School In the News

Columbia Business School is looking beyond the concerns of academic plagiarism and other negative perceptions of AI. Instead, professors like Dan Wang are finding opportunities to integrate the technology into the student experience. In an interview with PYMNTS, Wang described the benefits of bringing AI into the classroom, encouraging both students and faculty to focus on the innovation. Like any new technology, Wang describes, AI tools need “iteration and experimentation.” When seen as a creative tool for learning, AI can be “organically integrated” into the class curriculum, Wang says. With the right approach, students can use AI to gain a better understanding of course material. The skills developed by using AI in higher education are also incredibly beneficial in preparing students for the workplace post-graduation, Wang explains.Read the entire interview to see how Wang recommends students can use AI tools and why the education industry should adapt to embrace AI.
