Elon Musk Podcast
Harvard Business School is revolutionizing its educational reach by launching H.B.S. Foundry , an eight-week entrepreneurial bootcamp featuring AI-generated clones of its faculty. For a fee of $699 , students interact with these digital avatars to receive real-time feedback during simulated business activities, such as venture pitches and board meetings. While some observers view this shift toward automated instruction as a decline in traditional academic standards, others highlight how it democratizes access to elite mentorship at a lower cost. These virtual instructors provide constant availability , allowing the university to scale its specialized expertise beyond the physical classroom. This initiative marks a significant turning point in higher education , signaling a future where artificial intelligence blends with human institutional prestige to reshape professional training.
