ESCP Impact Papers Sixth Edition Artificial Intelligence for Impact: Creativity, Ethics & the Future of Business

The proliferation of artificial intelligence is raising urgent questions about sustainability, ethical decision-making, management complexity, and shifts in global networks. AI is also creating unprecedented opportunities for organisations and individuals—fostering agility, enabling collaboration and driving impact across industries.

At this intersection of power and promise, AI can help businesses integrate technological, creative, and human intelligence to develop robust and forward-thinking strategies anchored in ethics, responsibility, and sustainability.

In this context, ESCP Business School has launched the sixth edition of its Impact Papers: Artificial Intelligence for Impact: Creativity, Ethics, and the Future of Business. This edition examines the key issues and challenges that businesses and societies must manage in the coming years and promotes innovative and creative approaches to navigate the AI revolution currently underway.

This collection embodies how AI can become a force for positive impact when guided by creativity, responsibility, sustainability, and inclusion.
