Christina Wallace on AI and Entrepreneurship

In this episode of The Parlor Room Presents: Hello AI, host and Harvard Business School Online Creative Director Chris Linnane speaks with HBS Professor Christina Wallace about how AI is transforming entrepreneurship and creativity. Wallace explains how founders are using AI to accelerate customer research, prototyping, branding, and operations—and why judgment, originality, and proprietary insight matter more than ever. She also explores the risks of overreliance on AI-generated work, the pressure AI places on artists and creators, and why rising expectations are redefining what it takes to stand out.
