Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly revolutionizing businesses, bringing profound changes across various sectors. Notably, GenAI can optimize operations, streamline workflows, and personalize customer experiences with unparalleled precision. However, executives feel an incredible time crunch to understand and leverage this technology to sustain their competitive advantage. This urgency is compounded by challenges such as ensuring ethical use, maintaining data privacy, and upskilling the workforce to harness AI’s full potential. 

Frontiers of Generative AI is designed to help executives gain a true understanding of what GenAI is, how it actually works, and what it means for organizations. Led by faculty and thought leaders across MIT, including MIT Sloan School of Management and the Schwarzman College of Computing, who are working and teaching at the forefront of AI, this course will help executives develop a comprehensive understanding and practical approach to putting AI to work. Participants will leave this course better equipped to: 

• Identify areas for GenAI integration in their existing and emergent products, services, and tasks
• Unify organization strategies and approaches to GenAI 
• Understand how, where, and when to start or further their GenAI strategies
• Accelerate their organization’s GenAI capability
• Establish competitive differentiation by way of new technology
• Reduce time to impact

The course will also help leaders understand the generative artificial intelligence timeline—how we got here, the most recent innovations (and how they work), and what we should expect next. Both days include interactive workshops (including chatbot development), guest speakers from the GenAI field, and group discussions.
