ICHEM Seminar Series 2025: Eating Real Food with Synthetic Spoons

Professor Dirk Lindebaum will present his research on the dangers of digitally mediated management learning and education.

  • 13 Feb 2025, 3.30pm to 5.30pm GMT
  • 5.28, 10 East, University of Bath

The Aristotelian notion of phronesis, or practical wisdom, is often considered integral to responsible management education. After all, what it means to be responsible is closely related to the specific social context in which individuals find themselves.

The rapid proliferation of generative AI-based products in management learning and education (MLE) introduces a fundamental challenge to individuals learning to engage in phronesis.

Analysing the relationship between generative AI, synthetic data, digital mediation, and synthetic MLE, we unpack why and how digitally mediated MLE can evolve into its synthetic form, potentially undermining the development of phronesis in so doing.

This seminar forms part of our upcoming DBA HEM Residential, which runs from Monday 10 to Monday 17 February.
