Week 6 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

After reading this week chapter, I thought about the fact I need to learn more about coding. I tried to code in high school taking AP Java but did not retain any knowledge. Although my job is not technology focused, coding could potentially expand my ability to learn, and I may be able to use it in other applications. I'll probably start with Python and see how it goes from there.

Besides learning about coding, I also have used AI in my work and personnel life to make it easier. I started to realize I miss meetings because I would lose track of time easily while talking with staff. I was becoming frustrated and annoyed because I was not punctual to meetings. My director set up manual alarms for each meeting but that seemed to time consuming. I decided to explore the notification ability on my outlook account. An alert could be enabled before meetings to notify me. I love this feature because I have not been late to any meeting after I enabled this feature. By working with AI, I was able to ease the burden of monitoring the time and focus on helping staff. I also know when my next meeting is and can politely excuse myself to attend. By becoming adept in AI, I can use it to help with different tasks or routines of my daily life. I actually enjoy it because it enables me to focus on other projects and goals.

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - AI Text

The article discusses the use of AI writing text through key word searches. It is interesting because the article argues AI could and may be the future of writing as it evolves. AI could lead the future in marketing but it may not. I just finished reading the book, Tipping Point . In the book the author, Malcolm Gladwell, discusses the spread of an idea or disease in how it is kept stable until it reaches a tipping point and spreads to more people and continues to spread.  Although online advertisement is effective now, will it be as effective in five years. The book discusses the importance of network connection such as a phone. The first phone is connected to nobody but as more and more phones are connected the value increases. Telemarketing became popular because of the rise in phones. Over the years the effectiveness of telemarketing has decreased as people block calls. As AI predict and advertise to recently purchased items or key words in searches, people may block the online...

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

This chapter focuses on AI and the community that is learning how to build AI. It is important to learn, adopt, and becoming adept in AI but also being part of the community to make it happen is important as well. By learning together AI can be created to achieve magnificent goals and achievements. A scientist does not discover new knowledge alone but rather has a team taht works together to gain knowledge. By doing so it enhances the learning and the wealth of knowledge is shared. Just like in in science, the AI community needs to share what they learn to enhance AI interface. One of the biggest problems that i can see is the lack of a workforce to do strenuous jobs taht require physical labor such as moving packages. If an AI could be developed and made to figure the most effective route and move items more efficiently, it could replace human labor. Those jobs may be lost but it creates new jobs in AI maintenance, development, and repair. By working as a community, robots with AI cou...

Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Guerrilla Marketing

Market research is important to understanding your customer base. Guerilla Marketing discusses two types or research: free research and paid research. The guerilla should take advantage of the free research to better appeal to their base and tailor their advertisement. One of the easiest ways is to have an informal survey that can be sent online or filled out at the time of purchase. I remember when I bought my first car a few years after graduating from college. The dealership wanted to know age, race, income, residency, and occupation. They wanted to know this to see who was buying their cars and how to tailor their ads to their future clients. One easy way to have a promotional discount such as new graduate discounts to outsell competitors in the same market. By focusing in on current and future clients and giving them a small but sizable discount, they can undersell competitors and build their client base. It works because I would go back to that dealership to look f...
