“AI may enhance learning, but it does not replace it. We are committed to students coming to class prepared to engage in deep and messy conversations, make sense of things, make decisions, listen to others and sometimes change their minds.”
The World Needs Darden to Shape AI
Darden defines how a leading business school reimagines creating and delivering value across stakeholders through AI-integrated transformational learning, research, thought leadership, engagement with practice, and institutional platforms. As a school, we must set a standard for responsible, rigorous, human-centered leadership in an AI-shaped world, producing leaders who know what to delegate to AI, what to verify, what to challenge, and where human accountability must remain.
AI Research
The LaCross Institute is focused on advancing interdisciplinary research at the forefront of innovation in ethical artificial intelligence and its application in business. Its research and engagement with business examine how organizations can use AI responsibly and how their choices affect employees, customers and society.
AI in the Classroom
Darden faculty are testing how AI can support case preparation, discussion and assessment. Students learn to question AI output, weigh evidence and explain their decisions.
