UVA Darden’s new dean presses AI into MBA teaching as schools race to keep up

Yael Grushka-Cockayne took over as the 10th dean of the University of Virginia Darden School of Business on Aug. 1, bringing years of work on artificial intelligence into a job that now sits at the center of a global scramble over how to teach and use the technology. The school’s first woman dean in its 71-year history did not need a campus orientation—she has been a professor and academic leader at Darden for 17 years—but her AI brief is the advantage peers are racing to match, according to a Sept. 14 profile.
