Upcoming Events

For: Students
Location: Weissman Foundry

Join The Generator and E-Tower for an interactive workshop designed to transform your business through AI integration. Learn practical strategies to leverage AI tools across your business operations, from enhancing customer service with chatbots to optimizing marketing and streamlining product design. Whether you're an established business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, this hands-on session will equip you with actionable insights to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth in today's AI-powered business landscape.

Location: Weissman Foundry

Not all AI tools are created equal. Some drive productivity, some fuel creativity—and some cross the line. In this interactive event, The Generator spotlights Cluely AI, a tool built to “do the work for you,” and challenges Babson students to think critically about what happens when innovation drifts into academic dishonesty.

Through live demos and head-to-head activities, you’ll see how Cluely integrates into everyday workflows and test for yourself whether speed and automation can replace effort and learning. Then, we’ll flip the script: how might tools like this be reimagined for ethical use?

Join us for a hands-on conversation about the gray areas of AI adoption—where efficiency ends, and responsibility begins.
