Survey data and campus reports show faculty—not administrators—are shaping classroom expectations for AI use, with instructors leading conversations about acceptable generative-AI applications and academic integrity. At the same time, AACSB’s 2025 State of Accreditation Report elevated generative AI to an accreditation inflection point for business schools, urging institutions to integrate AI into curricula, pedagogy and research impact. Deans and accreditation reviewers now expect intentional, mission-aligned AI adoption rather than pilot projects, adding pressure on schools to show measurable learning outcomes and ethical governance around AI.
