Pre-Workshop Preparation

► Recommended – To avoid any concerns or policy approvals, conduct this workshop:

► <NEW> Log in to personal/ free versions of ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and Gamma.app. ► Content – Research: Use reference materials that are publicly available, such as a journal article you authored or a public company or industry report with which you have expertise. ► Content – Courses: Gather your syllabus, a more detailed course description or key learning objectives, and an example of a typical assignment. ► Location: NOT on your company internet (log in from home, a coffee shop, or through your mobile hotspot) ► Device: With your PERSONAL device ► Activities: Ask only non-confidential or non-proprietary questions. ► Cost: nothing. All the applications will use free resources, though you may need to register or use a Gmail account.

► The slide text for “AI -Enhanced Instruction: Part 1 – Workshop Extended Cut” was created with assistance from NO generative AI tool. ► ChatGPT was used for some background research or refining explanations, including reviewing the table with AI tools. ► ChatGPT was used to create some of the images. ► The PowerPoint editor and Grammarly were used for grammar and spell checking.

AI Usage Disclosure:

AI Risk Disclosure: Low Consequence Informational Summaries

► This content provides informational summaries for general insight. ► While useful for saving time, summaries generated by AI may overlook nuance, context, or accuracy of the source. ► The risk is considered low, as long as users cross-check original materials before making decisions. ► ..If you follow my recommendations.

Q: Needed? A: Over share for now…

Content Disclaimer:

► I feel like I’m a novice. ► I’m sure there are better or more efficient ways for me to operate – I’m happy to hear all and every insight or comment. ► I feel like a third-grader who had been writing with a pencil, and someone just gave me color crayons – COLOR!!! ► [Note: Template PowerPoint image changed to a ChatGPT/ Dall-E image created in three prompts and 2 minutes.]

AI Expertise Disclosure

► I do NOT consider myself – and I am not – an AI expert. ► I am an expert in MY problem. ► I am an expert at judging whether a response meets MY needs. ► I am becoming more proficient in applying AI tools to help me solve my problems.

► I realize I break almost every Marketing Communication rule AI identified for presentations.

Marketing Disclaimer:

► Such as:

► “No more than seven lines of text on a slide with seven words per line.” ► AI said that across the content slides, the average word count is 12.5 lines per slide and 141 words per slide.

► “Use a minimum point size of 30 for the font.”

► AI said the main body average is 28-32, not too bad.

► But this is a training workshop format where the slides are both the reference material and the instruction.

WARNING: Using AI Tools for Personal and Safe Exploration ► Start with simple, low-risk tasks. ► Such as planning a vacation, exploring gardening tips, or reviewing public reports. These are great ways to experiment with AI tools while minimizing the risk of exposing sensitive or personal information. ► Understand that your prompts may be used for training. ► Some AI tools retain user inputs to improve their models, meaning your creative ideas or unique conclusions might influence future responses given to other users. ► Be cautious when uploading attachments. ► Files you share with certain AI platforms could be stored and integrated into their broader training data, potentially making your content added to the AI library – this is described as the content helping the tool “learn.” ► Choose premium or enterprise versions for greater privacy. ► Paid or organizational versions of AI tools often include options to keep your inputs and files private and may offer features that restrict data from being used for training. Usually, a personal subscription or an “enterprise” version has the option not to share the information. Also, there are some “enterprise” versions that are installed to run completely inside a company’s computer system only (aka “Self - hosted AI” or a “Private Deployment AI”). ► For example, the footer of the Enterprise version of ChatGPT states: “ChatGPT can make mistakes. OpenAI doesn't use your workspace data to train its models.”

AI Workshop: Introduction

Seven Stages of AI Use:

I asked AI for a word for what I feel: ► Frisson (pronounced "free-sawn"): ► “This French loanword describes explicitly a sudden, intense, almost pleasurable sensation of excitement or fear, often accompanied by a shiver or tingle. It captures the blend of emotions you're describing perfectly.”

► These stages are: 1. Shock 2. Denial 3. Anger

4. Bargaining 5. Depression 6. Testing and Healing 7. Acceptance and Hope

The Grief Cycle

Foundation: RI (Real Intelligence) vs AI (Artificial Intelligence) ► Regarding your intellect: ► You are valuable by being able to THINK not just summarize generic common knowledge… ► Artificial Intelligence (AI): ► The ability to look something up or solve a problem ► AND to accept the response as accurate and applicable ► Real Intelligence (RI): ► The state of knowing many different concepts so you can problem solve in real-time in your head or during a conversation. ► AND the ability to consider if the conclusions are accurate and applicable. ► Goal and Role of Your Business College Experience: Provide a set of general and specific business concepts and terms that are fundamental to everything… to methodically help students acquire “RI.”

AI Philosophy – To teach or not teach AI?

► “Is it unethical to NOT teach AI?” ► “In the context of AI and education: Not providing access to AI education could be seen as hindering individuals' opportunities for self-development and equal access to knowledge and skills, thus potentially threatening their basic liberties.” (John Rawls) ► Q: Do companies that hire recent graduates expect a level of AI literacy? ► Q: What AI literacy do recent graduates need to compete and keep their jobs?

12 12

UPDATE: August 12… Courses start August 25… what to do for Fall 2025? ► Fall semester starts in 13 days… very short lead time. ► Should we teach AI? How? Won’t it change a lot in the months and weeks? ► The core 80% is the same (e.g., economic order quantity), but the 20% of the application and the last mile are changing or are obsolete. ► One option: “Daily Dose of AI” ► Carve out time to explore AI tools or applications. ► This doesn’t need to be defined… but just have the time and then start thinking about it. ► Q: Why not ask AI? I will walk you through that in a few moments. ► SCM303 Intro to SCM ideas, from an SCM303 student project this current summer: ► AI term scavenger hunt, “Sil.do” submit word cloud ► “What AI thinks has changed by AI regarding the course or module: syllabus description of the, lecture slides or readings.

AI Tools: A Primer…

Summary Insights for Course Integration ► Combining Tools:

► Use ChatGPT or Claude for ideation and draft logic; export to Lucidchart, Gamma, or Visio (Copilot) for polished visuals. ► Research + Validation:

► Perplexity ensures process accuracy with real-time sourcing.

► Workspace Integration:

► Gemini (free tier) lets students work within Google Docs/Slides smoothly, while Copilot leverages MS365 strengths for Visio workflows. ► Costs : ► Most have free or institutional access; only Copilot typically requires an M365 license. Gemini Pro unlocks deeper functionality, but the free tier is functional enough. ► Selecting a Tool: ► There are reportedly over 25k AI tools. This course uses three that are commonly used and that cover different activities. (This is not an endorsement of any single tool or company.)
