The evolving impact of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on various aspects of our lives is undeniable, prompting discussions about its potential to transform education and teaching. Integrating technology and AI into teaching practices holds promise for students; for example, it enables improved teaching and grading, progress tracking, and practical applicability through simulations. However, technology and AI can also disrupt education by altering teaching and learning dynamics in business schools. Thus, finding the right balance between technology and AI's efficiency and the essential personal connection in teaching remains pivotal. This EIBA-Webinar focuses on this balance and invites three experts in the field to share their knowledge.

Within two months of launching, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users making it one of the fastest growing computer applications in history. The success of this language model has drawn artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) into the public spotlight. Despite this increase in awareness, many still struggle to understand the distinctions among these fields, and particularly how tools like ChatGPT work. In my presentation, I will provide an overview of the distinction between AI, ML, and NLP; a brief history of how the large language models of today (e.g., ChatGPT) emerged; and consider possible future directions for the continued evolution of these tools.

After the introduction of the generative AI in higher education , it became center of attention, and it triggered huge changes in how the teaching-learning processes are taking place among the universities' courses. Thus, I will show how, for example, ChatGPT is used by the students and myself at various business schools in emerging and advanced markets.

Topic: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from being a mere tech curiosity to significantly impacting our lives in countless ways. While concerns about AI replacing human-centered interactions are real, there is untapped potential in the symbiosis between AI and how future leaders might use the technology to develop themselves and their organizations. For leaders with direct reports, AI's capabilities can enhance employee coaching sessions, develop self-awareness, track coachee progress, and even offer risk-free simulated environments for employee or client growth. Balancing AI's efficiencies with the deep personal connection and ethical considerations intrinsic to coaching practice will define the future of AI-augmented developmental coaching. In my presentation, I will provide a quick overview of the current state of AI in developmental coaching, highlight a small-scale classroom AI-enhanced coaching exercise I conducted with MBA students, and discuss the future possibilities of this applied technology in coaching.
