Dr. Spencer Benson - AI: Trap or Trampoline? Leveraging Generative AI for Career Successes

Veranstaltungsdaten

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly transforming society and career development. While GenAI offers new opportunities for personalized growth, creativity, and productivity, it also raises fundamental questions regarding cognitive offloading, critical thinking, and deep learning. Current evidence suggests that GenAI's benefits and risks depend on why, when, and how it is used. In this presentation, we will examine the role of GenAI in professional development: Is it a trap that undermines professional growth, or a trampoline that accelerates productivity and career advancement? Moving beyond the standard response that "it depends," we will unpack how to leverage GenAI to enhance critical thinking, creativity, communication, problem-solving, and career advancement.  Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of GenAI’s potential and risks, along with actionable strategies to harness its many capabilities.
