Inc.: “Some of the biggest names in education are teaming up on a new platform for aspiring business leaders who don’t have the time and money to attend business school.

MasterClass, OpenAI, and the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business have announced MasterClass Executive, an AI-powered alternative to traditional MBA programs. The organizations believe that through a combination of online learning and AI tutoring, average performers can become exceptional in a compressed amount of time.

David Rogier, founder and CEO of MasterClass, says that MasterClass Executive is a 12-week, $2,500 program that will feature Zoom-based lessons (supplemented by a custom AI tutor from OpenAI) from academics and entrepreneurs, along with AI labs with representatives from companies like OpenAI, Lovable, Weights & Biases, and ElevenLabs. There will also be an in-person experience hosted on the University of Chicago’s campus.”
