This unit introduces students to the accelerating landscape of frontier technologies—AI (including GPT), blockchain, and digital finance—and examines their economic, legal, and entrepreneurial implications. Learners will assess exponential growth, emerging use cases, regulatory and ethical challenges, and develop strategic responses that prepare them for deeper business planning and implementation in subsequent units.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze exponential growth trends in AI, blockchain, and digital finance and identify at least three strategic implications for early-stage ventures.
- Evaluate the economic, operational, and customer-experience impacts of AI (including GPT) and blockchain on entrepreneurial business models by comparing at least two real-world use cases.
- Apply relevant ethical, legal, and regulatory considerations to proposed uses of frontier technologies by developing a compliance checklist or policy brief that addresses at least three key risks.
- Demonstrate the ability to translate technological concepts into actionable business strategy by producing a one-page strategic brief that prioritizes opportunities and mitigation strategies for a hypothetical startup using AI or blockchain.
