The Intersection of AI and Business

Senior Pricing Strategy Analyst, Ellucian 

“Scheller has done a great job integrating AI into programming. In my first semester, I was introduced to the concepts of AI and learned how to incorporate it into my daily tasks. This knowledge continues as professors have incorporated AI-based assignments and class activities into our lessons to help encourage a healthy relationship with the tools.  Implementing AI into our curriculum has allowed me to enhance my knowledge, hone my skills, and be more creative in assignments (especially marketing-based classes).”

“In addition to the AI Conference we launched in October 2024, our school piloted a new class called AI for Business. The course has been fantastic and has given me the most practical applications for using AI in the workplace. I am becoming more savvy with prompting different LLMs to get what I need from the technology and am more confident speaking to various AI models and how they can be used for various business use cases.”

“One of Georgia Tech’s core classes is Managing Information Resources, which explores how technology has shaped modern business and teaches key tools for managing data. We were encouraged to use AI in this class, and I found it particularly useful for coding assignments. I have next to no coding experience, so it has been great to have an AI ‘friend’ to ask basic questions and help identify any bugs in my code. While it can be a great tool to increase efficiency, using it to replace critical thinking is a great way to get in trouble and base decisions on bad information and made-up sources.”

“At Scheller, I've seen firsthand how AI is being integrated into the curriculum through courses like "Machine Learning for Business" and "AI for Business". These courses provide hands-on experience with AI tools and teach us how to apply AI concepts to solve real-world business problems. With Atlanta emerging as the "Silicon Valley of the South," Georgia Tech's location offered unparalleled access to a thriving tech scene.”

“My part in Professor Charlotte Alexander’s vertically integrated medical debt project began with a non-technical role. I gathered documents, researched medical and legal terminology, and helped validate our outputs.

With encouragement from Professor Alexander and my team, I stepped into a more technical position. I led the analysis outputs from Meta’s Llama model as we tested and compared AI platforms for extracting data from medical debt files. The most surprising part? Realizing I could successfully apply the skills from my Intro to Computer Science class!”

“Dr. Eric Overby’s thoughtful approach helped me build a strong analytical foundation. His class was a turning point in how I learned to critically evaluate technology—not through the lens of hype or idealized potential, but through grounded, real-world analysis. By the time we reached the final project, I felt equipped to argue both for and against a technology’s impact. More importantly, the course made me a stronger business leader by giving me the tools to make informed, objective decisions when faced with new, potentially transformative technologies.”
