哈佛商学院正把 AI 引入创业教学。根据外媒报道,该校一项面向创业者的 8 周训练营,已开始使用讲师的 AI 数字分身,为学员在模拟路演和董事会演练中提供个别反馈。

8周课程定价699美元

这项课程名为 HBS Foundry,收费 699 美元。课程仍保留每周与讲师的实时互动环节,但在部分练习场景中,学员面对的已是讲师的 AI 版本,而不是本人。

报道显示,这些数字分身由初创公司 HeyGen 制作,主要用于学员练习创业陈述时的即时反馈。哈佛商学院此举,反映出高校正尝试把生成式 AI 从辅助答疑推进到更具体的教学流程中。

用于路演和董事会模拟

在课程设计里,AI 分身承担的是高频练习反馈角色。学员在模拟融资路演或董事会会议时,可以先与数字讲师互动,再参加每周的真人课程。

项目负责人 Katharina Rings 表示,团队最初设想的 AI 形态更接近聊天机器人。但在试用版推出后,学生反馈称,他们更希望获得引导更明确的互动体验,因此课程后来转向数字分身形式。

学员反馈偏正面

《纽约时报》记者 Sarah Kessler 曾亲自测试这一功能。她向 Flybridge Capital 联合创始人 Jeff Bussgang 的 AI 复制版本进行路演,主题是“香蕉版 Uber”。报道提到,无论是真人 Bussgang,还是其数字分身,都对这一创业设想并不认可。

不过,Kessler 也提到,虚拟版本在互动时仍带有明显的机械感,例如在听取路演时会出现略显僵硬的微笑。尽管如此,参与该项目的学员整体反馈较为积极。Bussgang 也承认,自己的数字复制版本“有点诡异”,但他同时表示,学生很喜欢这种形式。
