Harvard uses AI to evaluate startup ideas in new bootcamp

Harvard Business School has launched a new $699 entrepreneurship bootcamp, incorporating AI versions of its faculty to assess startup pitches. The initiative aims to streamline the evaluation process by using artificial intelligence to analyze proposals from aspiring entrepreneurs. The AI clones are designed to mimic the expertise and feedback style of Harvard’s faculty members, providing participants with insights similar to those they would receive from real instructors. The bootcamp is part of Harvard’s broader effort to integrate technology into its educational programs, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution for evaluating business ideas. The use of AI in this context represents a significant step in the application of machine learning within academic and entrepreneurial training environments.
