E84 — Professor Scott Dyreng — From Tax Class to AI Classrooms: Innovation at Fuqua

Professor Scott Dyreng returns as the first repeat guest on The Fuqua Show; this time not to talk about where he came from, but where Fuqua is going.Now serving as Senior Associate Dean for Innovation, Scott takes us inside the launch of Fuqua’s first AI-powered classroom, an experiment designed not to replace human interaction but to strengthen it. We unpack how AI is being used to analyze class participation, reshape team dynamics, and deliver more objective, actionable feedback to students and faculty alike.Along the way, Scott shares what innovation really means in higher education, why human skills matter more than ever in an AI-driven world, and how Fuqua is positioning itself at the forefront of business education.We also close on a more personal note, returning to the values that define great leadership: telling the truth, treating others well, and living a life you’ll be proud of in the end.If you’re curious about the future of business school, or the future of work, this conversation is for you.Host: Philip CoaleMore information about applying to Duke's Fuqua School of Business can be found at https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/admissions.Note: This is a student-run production.
