The programming committee for the 79th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation, Generative AI implications for Institutions of Higher Education by Rassule Hadidi.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming presentation of a groundbreaking paper at the SAM International Business Conference, which delves into the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on our world. This presentation is poised to illuminate the myriad ways in which AI and AI-based platforms have reshaped the landscape of numerous industries over the past fifty years, heralding an era of innovation and efficiency previously unimagined.
Since its inception, AI has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, finding applications in our homes, offices, and beyond. It has revolutionized the way we monitor security, control indoor climates, enhance sanitation, shop online, manage our health, and engage with entertainment and educational content. The significance of AI’s contribution extends across a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, science, finance, agriculture, and education, to name a few. The paper highlights notable advancements and the deployment of AI technologies in various fields, underscoring their profound influence on manufacturing, transportation, and construction industries.
A centerpiece of this discussion is the remarkable achievement of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a platform that has set new benchmarks in AI’s capability to mimic human-like interactions. ChatGPT’s ability to generate essays, code, business plans, and even poetry with stunning accuracy challenges our perceptions of machine-generated content. However, the paper also candidly addresses the limitations of AI, acknowledging instances where ChatGPT may generate incorrect or misleading information, emphasizing the platform’s ongoing evolution towards greater accuracy and reliability.
The rapid pace at which AI technology has advanced is both exhilarating and daunting. The paper draws attention to the societal and regulatory challenges posed by such swift progress, exemplified by the broad adoption of technologies like DALL.E 3, Microsoft’s integration of GPT-4 into Bing, Google’s Bard, and other innovative platforms. This acceleration in development has sparked a global conversation on the need for a pause in advancing AI technologies beyond GPT-4, reflecting concerns over potential ethical and societal implications.
Amid these technological leaps, the paper sets forth a visionary discourse on the ethical use of AI in education. It argues for the responsible integration of Generative AI platforms in teaching, learning, and administrative processes within higher education institutions. The presentation will explore the balance between leveraging AI to enhance educational outcomes and maintaining the ethical boundaries that govern its use. The guiding principles proposed in the paper advocate for a thoughtful approach to AI adoption, emphasizing the importance of ethical usage, content review, equitable access, privacy protection, and transparency.
This presentation at the SAM International Business Conference promises to be a pivotal moment for educators, industry leaders, and policymakers alike. It offers a comprehensive analysis of AI’s current and potential impact, while proposing a framework for its ethical application in the future. As we stand at the crossroads of unprecedented technological advancement, this paper invites us to reflect on how we can harness the power of AI to foster innovation, while ensuring that its development and use remain aligned with our shared values and ethical standards. Join us at the conference for a thought-provoking exploration of AI’s role in shaping the future of business and education.
