AI tools are more accessible than ever, and auxiliary professionals are uniquely positioned to explore their potential. While many of us possess some background knowledge of these technologies—and perhaps even some hands-on experience—AI tools are not a solution for every problem. Understanding the nuance of how AI tools work and what kind of results to expect is key to leveraging their power.
In this session, we’ll introduce a decision-making framework to help evaluate whether AI tools are the right fit for a given challenge. Along the way, we’ll share real-world examples from CSULB’s auxiliary operations, highlighting how AI tools were chosen and implemented to solve problems.
This session is ideal for those who have some hands-on experience with AI tools and want to learn more about how to implement them with greater intentionality and strategic focus.
