Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion DEI

👀 Stories are changing-and the storytellers are too.

Join us at the Academy of Management 2025 in Copenhagen on July 26^th for a provocative PDW that reimagines entrepreneurial storytelling and framing in the age of AI. 🤖📖

Entrepreneurial Storytelling and Framing: Navigating in the Age of AI
💥 This is more than a workshop. It is a deep dive into how founders, researchers, and platforms are co-authoring the future-narratives shaped by both human-created and machine intelligence.

So many questions to ask:
🧠 What does authenticity mean when a founder's pitch is optimized by a language model?
⚖️ How do we navigate the blurry line between persuasion and manipulation in this new era of storytelling?
📈 Can AI-driven storytelling amplify legitimacy-or inflate the hype?
💬 How do we, as scholars, make sense of hybrid narratives across venture stages?

Greg Fisher (Indiana University)
