BA 301 Research & Analysis of Business Problems: AI

You can use AI in various ways:

• To brainstorm:
  • keywords to use when you search an article database?
  • structure or outline of a paper (if you already have it from the instructor, use that instead)
  • categories of resources needed
  • citation mapping tools on a topic to find major articles and their connections
• To supplement:
  • AI may unearth articles on page 10 of Google search results that you may never see
  • ask AI to provide pros and cons to incorporate different perspectives 
• To refine:
  • grammatical revision
  • tone change
• To assess:
  • upload the rubric to AI to see if you have have hit all the points
  • ask AI to evaluate your first or final draft for suggestion

Don't use AI to:

• Write your paper, posting, etc
  • your professor will intuitively know if your writing is drastically different from your speech
  • your citations or content could be hallucinations and cost you everything for "cheating"
  • offloading your cognitive capabilities means you will learn nothing
• Do your research
  • proprietary databases like IBISWorld or Mintel are usually not uploaded to AI as training materials
  • AI can hallucinate so you always need to check for accuracy, oftentimes by doing your own research
  • part of the college journey is to learn how to do independent research and critical thinking
