About this listen

In Episode 77 of “Market News with Rodney Lake,” Professor Lake, director of the GW Investment Institute, welcomes GW School of Business (GWSB) Professor Patrick Hall to discuss his new role as Chief AI Officer and GWSB’s evolving strategy to integrate artificial intelligence into institutional practice. Drawing on his industry and academic background, Hall outlines early priorities such as increasing visibility around AI initiatives, establishing guidelines for AI use, and expanding access to approved tools, while emphasizing the growing importance of AI-enabled technical skills for students across all disciplines. The conversation also examines differences in AI adoption across academia, government, and private industry, taking insights from Hall’s work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and previous experience in Silicon Valley. The episode underscores the need for GWSB to prepare students for an AI-shaped workforce where human–AI collaboration enhances decision-making and efficiency.
