AI in Business Classes

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping educational landscapes, offering opportunities to enrich teaching methodologies across diverse academic disciplines. In this session, two experienced faculty members from the College of Business share insights and practical experiences on integrating chatbots into their Finance and Management Information Systems (MIS) classes. Through practical examples from finance courses, such as investments and the Student Managed Investment Fund, and from MIS classes covering programming, databases, networking, and introductory MIS concepts, the presenters demonstrate how AI chatbots can effectively support student learning, enhance classroom engagement, and foster deeper conceptual understanding. This presentation will explore key successes, potential challenges, student feedback, and ethical considerations associated with using AI-powered tools in higher education. Attendees, including faculty and students from various disciplines, will gain actionable strategies and best practices for leveraging AI to elevate their own teaching and learning experiences
