AACSB UNVEILS RENOWNED AI LEADER AS KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR LAS VEGAS CONFERENCE

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- World’s largest business education alliance, AACSB International (AACSB) has announced renowned artificial intelligence (AI) thought leader, Ethan Mollick as a keynote speaker at its Deans Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada in February 2025.


Mollick is an Associate Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies and teaches innovation and entrepreneurship, and examines the effects of AI on work and education.


He also leads Wharton Interactive, an effort to democratise education using games, simulations, and AI. Prior to his time in academia, Mollick co-founded a startup company, in addition to currently advising a number of startups and organisations.


This news comes shortly after AACSB’s AI Conference in Santa Clara, California which focused on the intersection of AI in business education and applied business, the importance of the capabilities of AI, and how AI improves efficiencies without replacing the soft skills.


According to a statement, the alliance has set directions for business schools to advance education and lead in AI following the launch of its first AI conference, with plans to host a similar AI conference in Paris on Oct 9 and 10.


This work also builds off of AACSB’s recently released report on generative AI (GenAI) titled Building Future-Ready Business Schools With Generative AI, which takes an in-depth look at potential threats and opportunities for business education, outlining ways that schools can efficiently use GenAI in their curriculum and learner experiences, while achieving institutional goals.


The impacts of AI are just beginning to unfold in education, business, as well as society, and these efforts serve as a catalyst to further explore, discuss, and study the dynamics of this evolving digital technology.


With members in over 100 countries and territories, AACSB fosters engagement, accelerates innovation, and amplifies impact in business education.
