Lindner announces Applied AI Lab
“As artificial intelligence — particularly generative AI — continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the establishment of the Applied AI Lab underscores Lindner’s commitment to leading in this transformative field,” said Jeffrey Shaffer, Applied AI Lab director, Kirk and Jacki Perry Professor of Analytics and an assistant professor-educator of OBAIS. “We are uniquely positioned to provide cutting-edge training and education not only to our students, faculty and staff, but also to our partnering companies through the Center for Business Analytics.”
The Applied AI Lab’s offerings include:
- Generative AI in Business: Applications, Challenges, Ethics and Governance, a Center for Business Analytics training course concentrated on the application of generative AI in data analytics.
- The Artificial Intelligence in Business graduate certificate, which educates students on how to leverage AI platforms for solving business problems.
- Public Center for Business Analytics training courses, which can be offered privately and can be customized to meet the unique needs of the interested company or organization.
- “AI’s Got Talent: GenAI for Faculty and Staff” covers the basics of generative AI, best practices (and what to avoid), and how to leverage AI for teaching and research purposes for Lindner faculty and staff.
“The Applied AI Lab’s approach is quintessential Lindner, empowering business problem solvers via generative AI and beyond,” said Lindner Dean Marianne Lewis, PhD. “And in a field changing this quickly, cooperative education is critical. This is where Lindner excels, with our students, faculty, staff and business partners collaboratively learning and practicing and, in doing so, developing new AI knowledge. Together we learn and thrive.”
