Week 8 – MBA 6601 – Where to start learning AI?

 

(OpenAI, 2024)

There are many options that an individual has to start learning about AI. However, before this can occur, there are a few things that need to be started. The first is adapting to artificial intelligence. You have to keep up with, what is happening in the AI world. To keep track of AI, one needs to create good habits to track AI (Kelsey, 2018, p.168). This is important because AI constantly evolves, and new things are being developed. The next step is adopting AI, such as using platforms or software that has AI capabilities (Kelsey, 2018, p.168). It is important to understand how AI can help you become more efficient with your work, so you can focus on more important tasks. With the combination of these two, an individual might want to become adept with AI. Learning about all the new findings of AI and using AI to help with your workload may give you an idea of ways to use AI in your business or personal life.

If you have created good habits in keeping track of AI trends/news and have some experience with it, but now you want to be adept with AI. The individual has a lot of options for learning AI. However, before they start learning about AI, there are core concepts they will need to learn. For example, an individual will need to know coding, data science, machine learning, and math (Kelsey, 2018). These are great areas to begin learning AI. Kelsey (2018) believes that learning AI through courses is the best way to learn AI (p. 170). This is a great method if you need a structured lesson plan to learn about AI core skills. You can take these courses at a community college or university. However, taking courses can be a large commitment and will cost individual time and resources to attend these courses. If the individual does not have the funds and time for these courses, they can also read books, and use free online courses, and YouTube videos (Kelsey, 2018). Although these may not give a certificate or degree in AI, it is a great alternative to begin learning AI. The certificate/degree can be earned at a later point in time when you can take courses. Overall, there are many resources available to learn about AI. If you are not interested in AI, you can still apply this method to things that you are interested in.

Week 5 – MBA 6601 – Adopting AI into our Careers and Organization

Image
  (OpenAI, 2024) Last week, I made a blog about developing good habits to adapt to the changes that are occurring in the business world, as well as in our personal lives. It is important to build good habits and start slowly, so we can retain that habit. In the blog I wrote, I mentioned how important it is to keep up with the latest trends and news in your industry. All while using methods to get it started and setting a schedule dedicating time to accomplish things, such as developing habits you want. This was inspired by reading Surfing the Tsunami, which gives you the option to choose to adapt, adopt, and adept artificial intelligence and machine learning (Kelsey, 2018, p. 2). Although the author makes it seem like you have to choose one of these perspectives to learn about AI and keep it on your radar. However, I believe one needs to start with adapting, then progress to adapt and adept. Continuing with the perspective, the next perspective is adopting. Kelsey (2018) describes...

Week 7 – MBA 6601 – Different Perspective of AI

Image
  (OpenAI, 2024) There are many different perspectives on AI, many individuals believe AI could be dangerous to humanity, but there are also many individuals believing that AI can be beneficial to humanity. It is important to understand both sides to come up with our conclusions if AI will be beneficial or dangerous to humanity. Perrigo (2024) reported that there is a possibility AI poses an extinction-level threat to humanity due to how companies prioritize the speed of safety of AI and AGI. This perspective focuses on the ethics that companies have, which is very understandable. If a company is not consistent in behaving ethically and ensuring safety nets are in place for AI, there is a chance that companies can misuse it. For example, Perrigo (2024) suggested that Congress should make it illegal for AI to learn certain levels of computing and use open sources because without guidelines could lead to destabilizing global security. The lack of safety nets could lead to issues ...
