Elite business schools are reworking curricula to integrate AI, ethics and governance as finance and banking roles evolve, administrators said. Wharton announced a new AI‑focused track that blends machine learning, psychology and regulatory training for students headed to Wall Street. The shift responds to automation of junior bankers’ traditional tasks and employers’ demand for judgment and oversight skills. Simultaneously, undergraduate demand is tilting toward AI‑specific majors; programs like MIT’s new ‘‘artificial intelligence and decision‑making’’ major have surged in popularity. Schools are balancing technical coursework with training in transformation-driven skills — critical thinking, ethical use of models and domain expertise — to prepare graduates for AI‑augmented roles.
