WITH AI DISRUPTING industries across sectors, what does the future hold for C-suite executives? IIM-Indore is trying to find the answer—by training management graduates to create a synergy between technology and emotional intelligence.

“The institute uses case-based pedagogy to train students. We give a business case and ask half the students to do it themselves and the other half to use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini. Then we analyse what humans do better and what AI does better. Assuming generative AI delivers better results is not always true, and in some cases, human intervention is needed. Bringing that out in the classroom is important,” says Himanshu Rai, Director of IIM Indore.

Blindly trusting ChatGPT to do the right thing can be counterproductive, says Rai. “In a recruitment interview process, a consultancy company asked candidates to develop a PPT on leadership training model. The candidates used ChatGPT and were rejected, not because they used AI, but because their creatives showed all white males. The recruiter expected them to have noticed this ‘AI bias’ and correct it.”
