Kellogg prepares students for impact of human-machine intelligence

News about technological developments is often accompanied by broad, buzz-worthy statements. Among the favorites of Adam Pah, clinical assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School of Management, is from software entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreeson, published in The Wall Street Journal in August 2011: "Software is eating the world." Andreeson was describing the way that societies are moving from hardware-based systems of commerce to software-based systems. For 2017, Pah believes the more apt version of the axiom is that "Artificial intelligence and machine learning are eating software." Because of the shifting data science landscape, Pah's Human-Machine Intelligence (HMI) course is a key part of the Kellogg Architectures of Collaboration Initiative (KACI), and crucial for any current or prospective MBA student pursuing a career that involves leveraging machine learning, a career type that is ever-widening.
