Yale School of Management made a required change to its MBA core curriculum, moving toward a version of an AI-focused course for incoming first-years. The program is described as shifting expectations from using generative AI as a study aid to building working prototypes and products. The change is framed as fast-moving within academia, after an AI elective version previously led by operations management professor Tauhid Zaman received faculty approval and is set to be integrated into the core beginning in the fall. For business education leaders, the report signals a curriculum pivot: AI capability is being treated as foundational professional competence, with courses redesigned to emphasize creation, not just consumption of AI outputs.
