Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries, offering both opportunities and challenges. In our 7th Executive MBA (EMBA) class last March 5, 2025, our President and CEO, Carol Dominguez, led a discussion on AI’s transformative impact on business, emphasizing its potential to disrupt traditional jobs and enhance efficiency. Before Carol’s presentation, our discussion leader, Tully Moss, introduced the case study “Oli: Can Artificial Intelligence Support Personal Well-Being?“ from Darden Business Publishing, University of Virginia, exploring AI’s role in personal well-being.
AI’s Transformative Impact on Business
Below are several key areas where AI is making significant inroads:
- Marketing: AI enables the creation of high-quality marketing materials at lower costs, allowing companies to target audiences more effectively.
- Finance: Financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase are integrating AI for faster information retrieval, enhancing decision-making processes.
- Healthcare: AI’s application in developing personalized treatment plans is leading to improved patient outcomes.
Furthermore, AI has been noted to improve task completion by 95% and boost creativity by 40%. The conversation also stressed the importance of change management and leadership in adopting AI, predicting that AI-enabled individuals and teams will outperform those without AI.
Case Study: Oli – AI Supporting Personal Well-Being
Tully presented the case study “Oli: Can Artificial Intelligence Support Personal Well-Being?” Oli is an app that leverages AI to improve users’ mental hygiene through short daily interactions. The case explores the benefits and drawbacks of AI wellness programs at individual, organizational, and societal levels, challenging negative stereotypes of AI in the wellness domain and highlighting ways AI can positively impact various stakeholders.
Team Workshops: Exploring AI Applications
Following these discussions, five teams conducted workshops, each limited to five-minute presentations, exploring various applications of AI. These workshops underscored the diverse ways AI enhances personal well-being and organizational effectiveness. They also highlighted the importance of ethical considerations, the irreplaceable value of human expertise, and the need for thoughtful integration of AI technologies to complement human skills and values.
Embracing AI for the Future
As AI continues to evolve, businesses and individuals must adapt to harness its full potential. By integrating AI thoughtfully and ethically, organizations can enhance efficiency, creativity, and decision-making while ensuring that human expertise remains central. The insights shared in this session reaffirm the importance of proactive leadership in navigating the future of AI-driven transformation.
