After a health setback delayed her graduation, she spent an extra five days on campus with a new cohort, which she says deepened collaboration.\n\nTogether with 20 fellow leaders, Jha co‑authored \"The AI Anthology,\" a collection of essays that captures diverse AI experiences across industries. She estimates 30 % of her learning came from the program’s material and professors, while 70 % stemmed from peer interactions and discussions. The book aims to help other leaders navigate AI’s operational, ethical, and societal challenges.\n\nJha now leads a new initiative to guide small and medium‑sized businesses through AI implementation, focusing on tool selection, integration, and measuring success beyond traditional revenue metrics. She views AI as a transformative force that can improve quality of life and empower organizations to serve critical communities.","keyPoints":["Prabha Jha, Verizon exec, completed MIT xPRO AI for Senior Executives program","She co-authored \"The AI Anthology\" with 20 leaders, sharing AI insights across industries","Jha says 30% of learning came from program content, 70% from peer interactions"],"whyItMatters":"Shows how senior leaders can translate AI education into collaborative resources, guiding broader business adoption and highlighting peer-driven learning's impact.","category":{"slug":"business","name":"Business & Funding","url":"https://digestai.news/category/business"},"entities":{"companies":["Verizon","MIT"],"models":[],"people":["Prabha Jha","Manolis Kellis"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-27T20:55:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-27T20:55:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":true,"sources":[{"outlet":"MIT News on AI","title":"Learner collaborates with MIT peers to develop book of AI insights","url":"https://news.mit.edu/2026/learner-prabha-jha-collaborates-with-mit-peers-to-develop-book-of-ai-insights-1027","publishedAt":"2026-10-27T20:55:00Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Verizon exec Prabha Jha co-writes 'The AI Anthology' after MIT senior AI program\", 27 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/verizon-exec-prabha-jha-co-writes-the-ai-anthology-after-mit-senior-ai","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Verizon exec Prabha Jha co-writes 'The AI Anthology' after MIT senior AI program","datePublished":"2026-10-27T20:55:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/verizon-exec-prabha-jha-co-writes-the-ai-anthology-after-mit-senior-ai"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
