About Harvard Business School AI Institute

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations operate, compete, and create value. As the field moves beyond experimentation, leaders face a new challenge: embedding AI across the enterprise in ways that drive meaningful, sustained impact. The Harvard Business School AI Institute exists to meet this moment. We bring together faculty across disciplines to generate rigorous, research-driven insights on AI and digital technologies and their implications for business and society. Our work spans both technical innovation and the organizational, strategic, and human challenges of adopting AI at scale. The Institute focuses on: • Advancing cutting-edge research in AI and data science • Redesigning organizations for enterprise-wide AI adoption • Partnering with leaders to translate insight into practice • Educating the next generation of AI-ready leaders With a global network of labs, faculty, and collaborators, the Institute connects research and practice to shape how AI is integrated responsibly and effectively across industries. Founded as the Digital Data and Design Institute at Harvard (D^3) during an earlier phase of digital transformation, the HBS AI Institute builds on a strong foundation to define how AI becomes embedded in the way businesses operate.
