Using generative AI to make sound business decisions

Aycan Kara is teaching students in her Venture Growth Management class to use generative AI ethically and thoughtfully. By having students use AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to gather and analyze data, Kara is not only teaching them to navigate business challenges but also preparing them for a future where AI plays a crucial role. Students start with a fictitious business, use AI to gather data, and end with a detailed report on growing the business.

Faculty Showcase: Generative AI assignments

Wondering how to incorporate generative AI into your course? This faculty showcase presents the work of four IU Bloomington instructors using generative AI to improve their course learning outcomes. Research shows that the best way to prevent students from misusing AI is to demonstrate how you would like them to use generative AI. Using generative AI in your course can address both how and when students should think about using generative AI, and train them to use it ethically.
