Conference Overview

The theme for this year's IBSSC is "AI and the Future of Business". Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a critical area of interest in the business world, from creating new business models, to reshaping business operations, and to modifying the ways of business education. The transformational impact of AI on the operational and competitive landscape of businesses through cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and accuracy improvement must be proactively discussed and integrated into business education. Moreover, the ethical concerns of AI development must be considered as well, as shown by recent events.

This year's conference will provide us, business educators from around the world, with a platform to confront the new opportunities and challenges from AI development. The questions are wide and varied, such as how to design new programs and courses that emphasize AI and related technologies, how to equip students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are demanded in an AI-driven world, and how to deal with new AI-related ethical challenges, to name just a few.

Session A (Parallel)

AI Transforming Business Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming today’s businesses. This transformation will only accelerate over time and the business world needs agile problem-solvers to manage these global transformations. Technology literacy will be essential for future business leaders to survive. Business educators, too, must motivate learners to embrace new technologies and understand how they will be applied in future enterprises. Today’s business students must understand and successfully collaborate with AI in their future professional roles. In this session, we will discuss some examples of the AI use cases and what has been successful and what has not.
