Background
Porto Business School has joined the QS Responsible AI Consortium, strengthening its focus on the responsible use of artificial intelligence in higher education.
The business school will work with universities and business schools from around the world through the network. The partnership will give Porto Business School access to shared knowledge, resources and discussions on how institutions can use AI in teaching, learning and research.
The consortium focuses on helping education providers address questions around the use of AI. Its work covers how students and executives should use the technology, how it can support teaching and learning, and how institutions can prepare for changes brought by AI.
Members can use tools and frameworks designed to improve institutional readiness. One of these is the QS AI Capability Framework, which helps institutions review their capabilities, find gaps and set priorities for development.
The consortium’s activities are built around four areas: research and intellectual leadership; teaching, learning and assessment; outreach and operational efficiencies; and governance and human commitment.
Jose Esteves, Dean of Porto Business School, said the membership supports the school’s aim of becoming an AI-first business school while keeping ethical and responsible practices at the centre of its approach.
He added that students and future leaders need to learn how to use AI effectively and ethically.
Porto Business School said the membership will strengthen its exchange of knowledge and practices with other institutions globally as higher education continues to adapt to AI.
