The AI revolution isn’t coming—it’s already here, and Haas is at the epicenter. 📍 We’re doing more than just discussing the future; we’re building it. From hands-on courses where students build with AI to peer-led “activation sessions,” Haasies are learning to integrate AI into every industry and job role. 🚀 The world is moving fast. We aren’t looking back. ⚡ 🔹 Colton Hess, MBA/MPH ’26 (pictured in the second photo) is helping classmates unlock what’s possible with AI. Through 30+ one-on-one “activation sessions,” he’s empowering students to launch projects using Claude Code. As Hess puts it: “I share a lot of concern about the potential negative impacts, but I am an optimist and find the tech incredibly democratizing in helping the traditional gates of entrepreneurship to come down.” 🔹 Pepe Alonso, MBA ’27 (pictured kneeling at the front of the class in the third photo) is equipping classmates with deep technical AI fluency through his From Zero to AI Agents workshops, teaching students how to build and evaluate AI systems — preparing MBAs to become “AI intrapreneurs” inside the organizations they’ll lead. 🔹 Ayushman Dey, MBA ’26 (speaking behind the podium in the last photo) helped spark a campuswide movement with Haas’ first vibe coding workshop, where students built apps and prototypes together using emerging AI tools. Reflecting on the energy of that first session, Dey said: “We got a huge response, so many people wanted to learn.” Dey also notes that “there’s a huge demand for this skill set because increasingly for startups in the Bay Area as well as large enterprises, it’s non-negotiable to have these skills."
