The transformational impact of artificial intelligence is impossible for business schools to ignore. Chatbots built on large language models can now easily pass the standardised MBA entrance tests and, this year, a Wharton professor showed how ChatGPT was able to secure a B grade in a core MBA module.

EMBA students are generally from a senior, older demographic and are keen to get to grips with leadership techniques using technology that has appeared later in their careers.
