CBS AI Academy
CBS AI Academy · Spring 2026

Anyone can prompt. Can you build something that holds up?

A selective, hands-on programme where CBS students learn to evaluate, build, and govern AI for real business value.

CBS AI Academy is a student-run educational programme at Copenhagen Business School. 60 selected BSc and MSc students work across four workshops developing applied AI capabilities in a real business context.

While many can generate AI outputs, far fewer can translate them into solutions that are measurable, accountable, and operationally viable. The Academy closes that gap.

AI Day marks the culmination — combining a Partner Expo with the Academy Finals, where student teams present their AI-driven MVPs to an industry jury.

From Understanding to Deployment

Students move through AI, not just learn about it. Each workshop builds on the last — from critical evaluation to solution design, to workflow integration, to real-world governance.

Built With Industry, Not About Industry

Every session is co-designed and delivered with a corporate partner. Real tools, real frameworks, real expectations — from the companies actually doing this work.

Responsible by Design

Ethics, governance, and accountability are woven into every workshop — so students learn to build AI that holds up in the real world.

The Learning Journey

Four workshops. One coherent build.
