MIT Sloan students have the opportunity to study generative AI management, analytics for digital platforms, and global energy economies in 2024 – 2025.
Emerging insights suggest road maps, policy recommendations, and calls for action regarding generative artificial intelligence.
"This paper is showing how you can use real humans to generate personas which can then be used programmatically/in-simulation."
What is top of mind for the digital economy thought leaders? That was the question posed for Thinker-Fest 2023.
Emma van Inwegen (SM '22) says: "Better writing could simply make it easier for employers to understand the skills a worker has."
An exciting collaboration between MIT's Sloan School of Management and Schwarzman College of Computing, this immersive, two-week program on campus dives deep into both the technical and business aspects of artificial intelligence, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact across industries. The program will bridge the gap between AI technology and business leadership through practical, hands-on learning experiences, ensuring participants can apply AI strategies effectively in their organizations.
