Using AI as a Thought Partner

Tuesday May 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm PDT

Shiley Hall Room 106

How can we use AI tools to increase our efficiency? AI tools are good at de-personalizing communication, summarizing information, and improving our written work and plans.
We will describe AI tools we’ve used: email - both analysis of incoming messages and creation of responses, surveys - how to use AI tools to summarize responses and create action items, frameworks - collect basics of a framework and identify missing components. Throughout all of these activities, the human component is critical for collaboration and innovation. We will discuss how and when AI is an appropriate thought partner - and when it’s not.
