"We invited Sam Rosen to deliver a keynote on AI Ethics, Prompting, and Marketing as part of our NEXT-U ESCEN Learning Expedition program in Boston. He demonstrated a proactive approach in building connections among faculty, which contributed positively to the overall dynamic of the program. His contributions during the MBA final presentations were thoughtful and well-received, and his closing talk offered a meaningful reflection for our students and their families. We look forward to welcoming him again next year to share further insights on the evolving impact of AI."
