Abstract

Resistance to and gradual adoption of technological innovations is not new to educational systems and, in some ways, continues as generalized large language models become widespread and, at times, seem to threaten traditional ways of teaching and learning. As educators and students experiment with these models innovatively, educational institutions will be compelled to evolve in ways that will enhance student preparation for the future workplace. This paper will discuss the potential impacts of generative language models on the workplace of the future, implications for workforce preparation, and implications for faculty teaching with an emphasis on business and information systems management. Research questions are posed to suggest future research opportunities for scholars working in the area.
