Georgia Tech’s Terry College of Business is confronting a practical test: how to preserve the value of grades as students adopt generative AI. Interim Dean Santanu Chatterjee told campus and employers that routine assessments are losing signal value and that the school is rethinking curriculum integration from undergraduate to PhD levels. He framed the change as both academic and reputational — recruiters are already asking what an “A” means in the AI era. Chatterjee described a two‑pronged approach: embed AI as a tool across courses while redesigning assessments that demonstrate student judgment and originality. He emphasized vertical integration of AI competencies across programs and more experiential evaluation that lets students show, not just tell, skills to employers. The college is piloting policy changes and seeking employer input to align grading signals with labor‑market expectations.
