Generative AI is here. Can it fuel entrepreneurial creativity?

While AI promises to increase effectiveness and productivity, its potential extends further. The possibilities appear infinite - from generating ideas for new products and services to transforming concepts into prototypes. However, initial research tempers overly optimistic expectations that AI alone can enhance creativity. Join us for a look at the human-centered approach required to practically harness its power. 

Attendees will explore:

  • The key differences between human and machine creativity. 
  • Integrating generative AI into ideation and early prototyping stages to generate novel solutions.
  • A demonstration that shows how this integration can be implemented in the context of entrepreneurial education.
  • Working in small groups to simulate the workflow for the ideation of a new product.
