Professor Angela Virtu had an Op-Ed Published in Inside Higher Ed

Professor Virtu's article, "Wake Up, Academia: The AI Revolution Waits for No One," discusses the Kogod School of Business's integration of AI into its curriculum.


 

The article highlights why teaching AI competency in higher education is vital to prepare future business professionals for their careers.

  • Higher education tends to innovate at a slower rate than business, meaning that as AI continues to evolve students risk being left behind.
  • The Kogod School of Business is infusing education on AI fundamentals into all academic programs, majors, and interests.
  • The success of this new strategy hinged on ensuring that Kogod's faculty had the skills development necessary to teach and incorporate AI.

Professor Virtu said: "Rather than focusing on a select few students in typically STEM-related fields, we’re ensuring every single student—regardless of their major, interests or intended industry—will graduate with a holistic understanding of AI and be equipped to lead in a business world dominated by it."
