CEA Nageswaran Highlights AI Challenges and Need to Rethink Management Education
Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could disrupt management education by automating routine entry-level tasks that traditionally help young professionals develop judgement. Speaking at the 16th Indian Management Conclave, he urged business schools to focus on teaching judgement and critical thinking rather than just adding AI courses. Nageswaran also highlighted the need for resilience and adaptability in management education amid geopolitical shocks and supply-chain disruptions. A study found a significant AI competency gap among Indian B-school graduates, emphasizing the urgency to align curricula with evolving industry demands.
