Artificial Intelligence

Leaders of AI companies often argue that AI products will handle mundane tasks, freeing people up to be more productive and creative. And there are few tasks more mundane than taxes. An individual American taxpayer spends roughly 13 hours and $240 out-of-pocket costs just to prepare and file one annual tax return, according to one 2022 study—an estimated 1.15 billion hours collectively spent on tax preparation.

The growth of artificial intelligence and its wholehearted embrace by business higher education has surprised even those who have long studied it. Count among them Professor Tinglong Dai, who teaches a first-of-its-kind MBA course at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School called Data Science: Artificial Intelligence.

Some universities have wholeheartedly embraced the technology, such as the University of Pennsylvania, which now offers an AI degree. Others like Penn State and Duquesne University leave it to the professors' discretion.

Leadership discussions on AI often center on defining an AI strategy, much like formulating plans for marketing or operations. Yet, a more profound and potentially impactful prospect is emerging: embedding AI at the heart of strategic decision-making.

Penn State University Professor Matt Jordan recently started incorporating artificial intelligence into his Media Democracy class. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Google’s latest generative AI model.

In a tech world where diversity is critical yet often overlooked, unsung women are enriching the AI field with innovations that promise a future where technology is as diverse as the society it serves.

The rise of generative artificial intelligence has sparked a heated debate about AI and copyright law. The New York Times’ lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft is not the first of its kind. But it is a pivotal one that could shape the future of AI development and intellectual property rights.

Even after Google fixes its large language model (LLM) and gets Gemini back online, the generative AI (genAI) tool may not always be reliable — especially when generating images or text about current events, evolving news, or hot-button topics.
