DASH Spring 2025 Report
For the last year, we've been promoting the understanding, adoption, and use of AI in our classrooms, research, corporate outreach, and societal functioning, where we use AI for good. This report highlights our work to date.
The DMSB AI Strategic Hub (DASH) will ensure intelligent technologies permeate D'Amore-McKim's curriculum, research efforts, corporate outreach, and contributions to the larger society. The hub aims to drastically upscale our scholarship and experiential learning abilities in the areas of AI, and we will do so in four strategic areas:
AI will be crucial for students, as it prepares them for a future where technology and human intelligence must work together to solve complex problems. Learning to use AI effectively will be a key skill for navigating the technological landscape of tomorrow.

Why DASH?
Intelligent technologies are rapidly entering society and the workplace, significantly altering how businesses are run and led. AI will assume various roles—co-worker, analyst, manager, tool, advisor, and more—in this transformation. Moreover, AI development is big business and must be pursued responsibly to enable value-driven risk management. Ultimately, AI will compel scholars to rethink business models, conduct research differently, educate students in new ways, and redesign organizations to serve society and stakeholders more efficiently.
Our assumptions
- AI is a tool that creates value for businesses and stakeholders.
- AI is designed to augment holistically, enhancing everything from efficiency and performance to well-being and motivation.
- AI generates content, ideas, and solutions that serve as inputs, facilitating the transition from content to knowledge.
