Tuesday 3rd September (IN PERSON)
On Tuesday 3rd September, BAM will be running the Doctoral Symposium and Nottingham Business School will be hosting a fringe event on Artificial intelligence, and digital transformation from 18:00 - 19:00 BST.
As Industry adopts AI what should business school educators do? A Panel Discussion on Integrating AI in Business Schools I Nottingham Trent University I Room LT8, Newton Building.
As Industry adopts AI what should business school educators do? A Panel Discussion on Integrating AI in Business Schools
In an era where artificial intelligence has swiftly become ubiquitous, we as management educators face a pivotal challenge: How can we authentically integrate AI into our teaching methodologies across disciplines like strategy, HR, finance, operations, supply chin, marketing and so on, ensuring that we not only teach about but also teach with AI? We posit that the 'what' and 'how' of our teaching must align in this AI-driven landscape. Just as calculators, computers, and language itself have transformed education, AI presents an unprecedented opportunity to enhance student learning. However, this integration must be executed thoughtfully and intelligently.
Drawing on insights from leading scholars, we'll introduce a Technology Adoption Framework, contextualizing the current state of AI in both industry and academia. We'll critically examine the necessity and optimal implementation of AI in business education, ensuring our pedagogical approaches meet the demands of Industry 4.0 while enhancing learning. Crucially, we'll provide a toolkit of what is currently available and suggest methods to use AI to foster critical reflection and the interrogation of theories and practices.
This panel calls on all of us to take a proactive approach in shaping management education and AI use that prioritizes critical thinking and learning, ethical considerations, and sustainable application. We have a responsibility to foster an environment where knowledge is critically examined, and students are empowered to question, reflect, and ethically apply management theories. Join us as we explore leveraging AI to enhance student learning, encourage critical reflection, and create a smarter, more sustainable approach to business education in the 21st century.
Keynote panellists include:
- Hannah Jeacock, Director of Research at MHR
- Dr David Lefevre, Professor of Practice, Management and Entrepreneurship, Imperial College London, UK
- Dr Mairead Brady, Associate Professor of Marketing and Technology, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
- Ed Sherman, Deputy Director, Economic and Social Statistics, Office for National Statistics (ONS), UK
