The rapid evolution, application and ubiquity of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools seems to be indicative that our world has entered a paradigm shift that mirrors the beginning of a new era not seen since the dawn of the internet. As entrepreneurship educators, we are pushed to the frontline of this development, mandated to embrace this transformative innovation to not only educate our students but also use its potential to reshape our classrooms. To help better understand this paradigm shift, this editorial invites the larger entrepreneurship education community to innovate, experiment, and learn in order to advance our theoretical and practical understanding of generative AI’s present and future impact on our field. Furthermore, it presents a series of inquiry questions to help guide our community to advance our field through rigorous research and impactful learning innovations.
