The Future of AI in Business: Ethics and Leadership in Action

Students and industry experts explore how AI is redefining business strategy and human-centered leadership.

Dr. Alvin Chin moderates a panel discussion featuring Dave Laskowski, Vivek Mullick, and Anne Lee during the UIC Business AI Council’s first event, as they discuss AI adoption, strategy, and challenges in business before an engaged audience.

On Thursday, October 30th, the UIC Business AI Council hosted their inaugural event, “The Future is Now: AI Adoption, Strategy, & Challenges in Business.” Students from across our undergraduate and graduate programs attended, asked inciteful questions and stayed to network afterward.

Special thanks to panelists Dave Laskowski (Protiviti), Anne Lee (Nokia Bell Labs), and Vivek Mullick (Accenture and UIC Business alum) for sharing their expertise. UIC Business Visiting Professor Alvin Chin served as moderator and wrapped up the event with these inspirational words.

“..AI isn’t just transforming technology, it’s transforming how we think, work, and lead. The real opportunity isn’t just in building smarter systems, but in becoming smarter humans – people who can connect strategy with ethics, and innovation with empathy.”
Dr. Alvin Chin

As AI reshapes how we work and lead, UIC Business remains committed to preparing students to navigate this transformation with integrity, creativity, and purpose.

Events like The Future Is Now exemplify how UIC Business connects students with thought leaders shaping the next era of business. Through the AI Council and similar initiatives, the college continues to advance its mission of integrating innovation, ethics, and leadership in education and practice.
