AI Initiatives At ESCP
At ESCP Business School, we are pioneering the integration of AI into both academic and business environments. AI is embedded in all our programs, with specialized courses focused on its application in business. Our faculty progressively leverages Generative AI throughout the course lifecycle—designing, delivering, and assessing a course. AI is also a key research focus, with our scholars both studying AI and using it to enhance the research process. At ESCP, we don’t just teach AI; we actively apply it, driving innovation and thought leadership in this transformative field.
