How hands-on AI experience is shaping future business leaders

Ohio University College of Business is leading the charge by bringing AI teaching and research into the classroom. Our students are gaining experiences that prepare them to lead with both competence and integrity.

This proactive approach feels meaningful beyond buzzwords. The College of Business isn’t just talking about AI—they’re weaving it through every level of the curriculum, from first-year courses to capstone projects. By embedding ethical policies, hands-on training (such as the “Five AI Buckets”), and real-world applications in the Copeland Core, students learn not just to use AI, but to understand it critically and ethically.

That commitment to turning students into AI-capable—and AI-responsible—leaders is exactly the kind of forward-thinking education I aspire to support and reflect through my own teaching practice.
