As university business professors, my colleagues and I have been wrestling with an important question:

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 *𝗮𝗻𝗱* 𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?

A recent Wall Street Journal article, "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘈𝘐 𝘊𝘢𝘯'𝘵—𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵—𝘋𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘠𝘰𝘶," (https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/when-ai-more-harm-than-good-519a83e7?st=BhRVT3&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink) offers a perspective that resonated with me. Its central message isn't that AI is good or bad—it's that **wisdom lies in knowing where AI belongs and where human judgment must remain in charge.**

Our students should absolutely learn to use AI to:
✅ Brainstorm ideas
✅ Analyze data
✅ Organize information
✅ Draft and refine their thinking

But they also need to develop the uniquely human capabilities that AI cannot replace:
• Critical thinking
• Ethical judgment
• Empathy
• Creativity
• Leadership
• The ability to ask the *right* questions

In my classes, I'm becoming less interested in whether students used AI and more interested in **how** they used it.

Did AI replace their thinking—or did it amplify it?

The graduates who thrive won't be the ones who know the most prompts. They'll be the ones who combine AI's speed with human wisdom, curiosity, and sound judgment.

That's not just an AI skill. That's a leadership skill.

What do students think, are your professors moving you in the right direction?

Back on campus at Fordham, and there is nothing quite like the energy of a new semester.

Looking at the word cloud from my students' first-day responses, two words tell the whole story: excited and nervous.

That mix of eagerness and apprehension is completely natural—whether you're stepping into a classroom, starting a new role, or navigating today's shifting job market. The secret isn't eliminating the nerves; it's using that curious energy to fuel your growth.

My goal this fall: turn that nervous energy into practical confidence and career-ready skills. It will happen and what a feeling for both the students and their professors.

I don't usually post about macroeconomic debt, but a recent editorial https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/opinion/us-debt-40-trillion.html?unlocked_article_code=1.71A.CHAZ.Dh1g7th_7TJx&smid=url-shareproposing a complete $40 trillion U.S. debt reset caught my eye as a business professor.

In the classroom, we often test ideas by pushing assumptions to the extreme. On the surface, a total debt wipeout looks like a massive win for the U.S. government budget and the general public. But in economics, every ledger has two sides.

The editorial leaves out a critical analysis of who actually absorbs the loss:

Foreign Creditors: Key holders of U.S. debt like Japan and China would take catastrophic losses, destabilizing international trade and foreign relations.

Institutional Investors: While large financial institutions hold significant bonds, the downstream impact hits pension funds, retirement accounts, and overall market stability.

A policy can look clean on paper until you trace the ripple effects across global trade and investment.

How do we weigh short-term relief against long-term trust in global markets?

LLMs need encouragement on tough problems. This is interesting. Does this mean you need to talk to it like another human being? I know when we teach students (undergraduate business students) about AI we do say it is a conversation and not like a simple Google search.

Ideally, a summer internship acts as a full-time trial run for life after graduation (as this WSJ article points out: https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/forget-about-fetching-coffee-this-summer-the-interns-are-running-the-show-d1b54f99?st=8FabAZ&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink).

But if you didn't land that dream role this year? Work anyway. ☕️🛒

Working at Starbucks, a local supermarket, or doing hourly shift work is always better than sitting idle. Hourly jobs build real-world discipline, grit, and customer service skills that future employers value immensely.

Aim for the dream internship, but respect the hustle of any summer job! 💡

Y Combinator just released its latest "Requests for Startups," highlighting where top tech leaders see the biggest opportunities. For students and early-career professionals, these 3 trends signal where future jobs and innovation are headed:

📚 1. Adaptive AI Tutors: Focus is shifting toward tools that augment learning and help professionals upskill continuously alongside human educators.
🔒 2. Human Verification & Trust: With the rise of deepfakes, proving digital identity is critical. Expect demand to grow for roles focused on security, digital trust, and verification.
👥 3. "Multiplayer" AI: AI is moving from single-user prompts to team collaboration. Mastering tools that allow team-based AI workflows will be a key career skill.

💡 Takeaway: The future workforce won't just use AI individually—we'll use it to collaborate, build trust, and learn faster.

Which of these 3 areas excites you the most, and how do you see yourself making a difference? 💬

Eddie Smith, the 83-year-old owner of Grady-White Boats, recently chose a different path: a Purpose Trust 🏛️. See the article in the NYTimes.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/business/grady-white-boats-charity.html?unlocked_article_code=1.01A.wwJv.HnMccxOz9heD&smid=url-share

Instead of selling to an investment firm—which often leads to cost-cutting, layoffs, or moving operations—Smith placed his company into a trust designed to:

🛠️ Protect local jobs in Greenville, NC

🤝 Preserve company culture permanently

🌳 Direct future profits toward conservation and community causes

For future business leaders and current founders: succession planning doesn't have to mean selling out to the highest bidder. Tools like Purpose Trusts prove that corporate governance can protect long-term stakeholder value over short-term liquidation.

That's why KPMG just overhauled how it trains summer interns — less technical drilling, more critical thinking, judgment, and problem-solving under pressure.

For students: the fundamentals still matter, but they're no longer the differentiator. Judgment is.

For professionals: AI fluency is table stakes. Judgment is what compounds.
