GSM6032

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have changed the workplace and expanded the frontiers of human productivity. GSM 6032: Managing with Artificial Intelligence introduces students to these advances via an introduction to AI tools and a survey of how managers are deploying AI systems across all managerial disciplines-from finance, marketing, and operations to accounting, human resources, and government relations. At each step of this survey, students will gain hands-on familiarity with the AI tools that they study, learning how to use AI systems for text and code completion, image generation, chat, editing, and assistant-building. This firsthand experience will place students in a position to assess the value of AI systems for their own endeavors and objectives, while also exposing students to the practical and ethical concerns raised by these technologies. The course assumes no prior knowledge of AI nor computer programming (this is not a course on the development of AI models or a deep study of their technical underpinnings). It seeks to remove the mystique surrounding these technologies so that students can become comfortable using them to advance their own personal and professional goals.
