A school-wide initiative
Shaping the future of AI in business.
From the classroom to the boardroom, NYU Stern is building the programs, research, and partnerships that turn AI from a buzzword into a competitive edge.
THE LANDSCAPE
The race is on. Most schools are running it badly.
AI has already arrived in the business-school classroom. The harder question is whether the curriculum, the faculty, and the institution are keeping up — and where the genuine high-leverage moves actually sit.
78%
of business schools had integrated AI into student learning by Summer 2024.
86%
of students already use AI for academic work — every day, across every discipline.
58%
of those students still report insufficient AI skills for an AI-enabled workplace.
$212.5K
median total comp reported by graduates of specialized AI degree programs.
