will reign during a similar period of progress, fuelled by AI. This AI-themed issue of Core sees our faculty weigh the benefits, risks, and limitations of this digital transformation in our cover story. Elsewhere, Hila Lifshitz-Assaf, head of our Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network, reveals how managers can avoid costly mistakes when investing in AI tools. James Hayton, Joe Nandhakumar, Zhewei Zhang, and Hong Yu Liu explore how this technology will transform work and careers. Matt Hanmer and Dan Philps from the Gillmore Centre for Financial Technology examine how it will shape the future of fintech. And Shweta Singh outlines how AI could protect vulnerable social media users. This issue is testament to the vital research that WBS is conducting into AI and its impact. We are committed to sharing that knowledge with our students and alumni, making it the focus of this year’s MBA conference. You can also read valuable insights on sustainability, strategy, leadership, behavioural science, and healthcare – all delivered by our world-class faculty without so much as an AI-generated headline.
