Welcome to
AI@Darden
AI@DardenDarden prepares leaders to use AI with confidence and judgment. Students build practical skills through preparation, discussion and debate, learning to challenge their thinking and lead responsibly.
“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 for Students
Darden connects practical AI learning with the foundational knowledge and judgment students need to evaluate new tools and make sound business decisions.

“The biggest constraint isn’t always a lack of customer data. It’s understanding what you still don’t know about your customers.”
