AI Sandbox

Putting AI into Practice

The world of work is being transformed by artificial intelligence, and the question isn't whether AI will impact your career. The question is whether you'll be ready to lead when it does. At Radford University's Davis College of Business and Economics, we're not just preparing students to use AI tools; we're empowering them to become the leaders who shape how AI transforms business.

 

The AI Sandbox helps you not just learn AI...but lead with it.

AI Sandbox is Radford University's generative AI lab. We provide tools, mentorship, and community to empower business students and faculty with applied AI competencies, ethical leadership, and professional networks in an AI-powered economy.

The reality is clear: professionals who can effectively apply AI across business functions are becoming indispensable. Workers with AI skills now earn a 25% wage premium compared to just a few years ago, and this gap continues to widen as organizations race to integrate AI into every aspect of their operations.
