Harvard Business School (HBS) has launched a $699 entrepreneurship bootcamp featuring AI "clones" of its faculty. These AI professors are designed to:
- Listen to startup pitches.
- Simulate sales calls.
- Run mock board meetings.
HBS states the platform aims to expand entrepreneurship education beyond its MBA program, with over 100 universities currently test-running the technology. The move has been criticized by some industry observers as a "cringe, ridiculous, embarrassing money grab."
