A Dean’s Silicon Valley Trip Leads To An AI Partnership With Perplexity

In late January, Kogod School of Business Dean David Marchick led a continue of his colleagues to Silicon Valley. From meeting a product vice president who starts his day with a 30-minute collaboration with an AI bot to being transported to myriad meetings via driverless taxis, Marchick says it was something of a mind-blowing trip, something he intends to do twice a year. One result of this fact-finding trip into the future: Kogod is partnering with one of the startups his team visited, Perplexity, to provide all its students, staff, and faculty with AI tools.
