About this episode
David Rogier discusses how AI is transforming education and business school at MasterClass.
When MasterClass CEO David Rogier was a kid, his grandmother sat him down and told him how she'd lost everything during World War II. The lesson David took from her is that education is the one thing no one can ever take from you. That idea became the basis of the online learning platform he co-founded, MasterClass. Now, after celebrating its 10-year milestone, AI is leading David to reimagine what learning actually looks like. On this Pioneers of AI episode, David joins host Rana El Kaliouby in a frank conversation about how MasterClass hopes to upskill their audience with AI-driven offerings, how he is reimagining what business school can look like with AI, and how David himself is incorporating AI into his everyday CEO life.
