The intensive two-day workshop aims to explore how the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not merely introducing new tools but fundamentally transforming the very nature of academic research and inquiry. In this rapidly evolving landscape, scholars are called upon to move beyond being passive users of technology and become strategic, critical thinkers who can harness AI’s potential responsibly, ethically, and with intellectual rigor.

We will not give quick fixes. Instead, participants will have a high-level discussion about how to design, perform, and publish high-impact research in a world where AI is always collaborating, criticizing, and catalyzing. The goal is to provide you with the frameworks to lead, not just adapt to, the future of research.
Senior faculty members from IIMs and IITs will be facilitators at the workshop and will lead discussions in the classroom, breakout sessions, and the Editors’ Roundtable on AI in Peer Review and Dissemination.
