    • Early live experiments treated bias and hallucination as teaching moments, not flaws
  • Lots of negative bias, skepticism, and worries about cheating

Story of AI at ESMT

What's next?

  • Stronger exploration of automation
  • Data analysis
  • "Service as a software"
    • Instead of relying on vendors, we’re building small, smart tools ourselves
  • More gamification and simulations
    • Advances personalized learning
    • Potentially for reselling

Some Key takeaways

  1. Prompting strategies and practice go a long way
  2. Don’t "do AI" just for the sake of it
  3. Focus on the enthusiasts
  4. It won’t take our jobs- yet (maybe)
    • Probably not for a long while
    • It's value is in efficiency, ideation, domain "expertise," and automation...
    • But it still requires a deeper understanding of context and strategy

Thanks!
