Artificial intelligence recently emerged as a prominent concept as a result of technological advancements. As a new entrant, with evolving nature, use in academia has not yet been fully addressed. This session explores AI collegiate use with experiential learning and standards through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly gained momentum as part of everyday life due to significant technological advancements. However, as a relatively new and continuously evolving field, its application in academia is still in the early stages of development and has not been fully explored. This presentation delves into the integration of AI within college course settings, specifically focusing on experiential learning methods and standards established by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

The study highlights various assignments centered around AI use, implemented in two business courses. These assignments serve as practical examples of how AI can be incorporated into experiential learning, allowing students to apply their knowledge and creativity in real-world scenarios. This presentation will also show the outcomes of the assignments, emphasizing the impact on students’ experiences. Results show that the exercises fostered greater acceptance of AI technologies in everyday tasks while enhancing students’ skillsets, making them more valuable and prepared for the workforce. By increasing AI integration into classroom activities, the study demonstrates how students can develop a deeper understanding of AI’s potential and prepare for its growing role in various industries.
