A medida que la Harvard Business School busca ampliar su alcance, se apoya en avatares de IA para proporcionar comentarios individuales.

Estos avatares fueron creados por una startup llamada HeyGen y están incluidos en el bootcamp HBS Foundry para emprendedores de ocho semanas y $699. El programa ofrece sesiones en vivo con instructores cada semana, pero los avatares de IA son los que brindan retroalimentación durante las presentaciones de práctica y las reuniones de la junta.

La reportera del New York Times Sarah Kessler en realidad lo probó ella misma al presentarle una propuesta a una copia generada por IA del cofundador de Flybridge Capital, Jeff Bussgang. Al parecer, tanto el verdadero Bussgang como su simulacro no quedaron impresionados por su plan de crear un “Uber para bananas”, pero Kessler dijo que la versión virtual ofreció una sonrisa notablemente congelada durante su presentación.

La directora del proyecto, Katharina Rings, dijo que inicialmente imaginó el componente de IA como algo más cercano a un chatbot. Sin embargo, después de que HBS lanzara una versión de prueba, los estudiantes dijeron que querían una experiencia más guiada.

Y aunque algunos estudiantes universitarios no han tenido reparos en expresar sus sentimientos negativos hacia la IA, los participantes de Foundry le dijeron a Kessler que les gustan los avatares. En cuanto a Bussgang, reconoció que su copia digital es un poco “espeluznante”, pero dijo: “A mis alumnos les encanta”.
