\n\t\t\t\tThe AI era is not something business schools can afford to wait out. Rather, their students must learn to ask the right questions, think critically about technology\u2019s role in society, and lead with both competence and conscience. The future of work \u2013 and of business education \u2013 depends on it.

\n\t\t\t\tSince the attack on Ukraine in 2022, Russian universities have moved from passive enablers of the war to active recruiters, with professors counselling enlistment over theses. This betrayal represents one of the most alarming developments in global higher education since the invasion itself.
