This was unusual for the professor, who teaches at SBS Swiss Business School in Zurich, where he heads the rather staid-sounding Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability.The paper that triggered the response, published in a peer-reviewed journal called Societies, looked at the relationship between the use of generative artificial intelligence applications, such as ChatGPT, and critical-thinking skills.
