Course Description

This course serves as the cornerstone generative AI (GenAI) experience for business students, providing essential knowledge and skills that can be applied across different business functions. Students learn to effectively use GenAI by understanding the technology and applying effective prompting techniques, templates, and tools for business innovation.

Students will explore a wide spectrum of GenAI capabilities including autonomous agents, multimodal content generation, and advanced workflow automation. The course emphasizes hands-on learning through direct use of AI platforms, API integration, and no-code development tools. Students work with cutting-edge concepts including retrieval augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning, multi-agent systems, and AI workflow automation while developing practical solutions to real business challenges.

Innovation methodology is integrated throughout the course, covering systematic thinking approaches, structured ideation processes, customer needs analysis, and problem-solution fit assessment for AI-powered innovations.
