Learning methods & evaluations

Pédagogy: The program combines lectures, case discussions, and applied examples (pulling from recent news as the landscape is quietly evolving). Participants engage with real-world business cases to explore trade-offs in AI design and deployment, complemented by conceptual frameworks from economics, law, and strategy. Interactive discussions encourage participants to connect course material to their own organizational contexts.

Evaluations: Learning outcomes are assessed through active participation in discussions and case analyses. Participants may also be invited to reflect on how course concepts apply to their organization, either through short written reflections or informal group exchanges. The emphasis is on practical understanding and participation rather than formal examination.
