🦔Harvard Business School is now selling AI clones of its professors for $699. Seven faculty members were cloned into AI avatars for an online startup bootcamp where founders practice investor pitches and board meetings with digital versions of Harvard professors. 760 founders have gone through it so far. It's not a degree and carries no academic credit. A year of actual Harvard Business School costs over $84,000. My Take Harvard has a $50 billion endowment and charges $84,000 a year for business school. Now they're selling AI versions of those same professors for $699 to people who can't afford the real thing. This isn't about democratizing education. This is a $50 billion institution figuring out how to monetize its brand name at scale without adding a single seat in the classroom. The professor who got cloned said the AI isn't meant to replace him. But if an AI version of you is good enough to charge $699 for, the follow-up question from every dean and CFO in higher education is how many of you they actually need. We recently covered a financier saying his AI-native interns produced shallow work because they leaned on AI through college. Harvard is now selling AI as the college experience for founders who can't get in the door. Universities are going to use AI the same way every other industry has, cut costs, maintain prices, and let the people at the bottom absorb the difference. Hedgie🤗
