"In a recent interview, the former consultant at McKinsey and Innosight, a boutique firm cofounded by Clayton Christensen and Mark Johnson in 2000 and acquired by Huron in 2017, revealed the prevailing mood among the next generation of business leaders isn't just excitement-it is fear. "One of the things that really surprises me consistently is how scared our students are of using it," Anthony said."
"He clarified this anxiety isn't merely about academic integrity or cheating. Plenty of his students are excited to use AI and push into the frontier of this new tech advance, he clarified, but a meaningful portion approach it with "hesitation and fear." They are "scared full stop." "There's something about AI where people, I think, worry that they'll lose their humanity if they lean too much into it," Anthony explained."
A former consultant returned to teach at his alma mater after a 20-year corporate career and arrived just months before ChatGPT's release, situating his work amid an accelerating AI revolution. Many students exhibit pronounced anxiety about using AI, with a significant portion expressing hesitation and fear rather than simple concerns about academic integrity. Some students worry that extensive AI reliance could erode their humanity, producing deep discomfort. Long-tenured faculty often show more eagerness to experiment with AI tools. Teaching courses on disruption while education and work are being transformed creates a messy, uncertain learning environment.
