Artificial Intelligence

Imagine commuting to work in a flying pod, using 3-D printers to make meals, and employing quick-witted robots to clean your house. Sounds convenient, right? It might even sound familiar if you remember George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy, and Jane, his wife. The Jetson鈥檚 know all about living in the future. The animated, space-aged sitcom portrayed a futuristic utopia filled with fantastical inventions, and complex robotic gadgets. While the cartoon first aired on primetime television in 1962, you can still see it today in an unlikely place 鈥 Craig Zamary鈥檚 classroom.

As an entrepreneurship lecturer in 两性色午夜 University鈥檚 College of Business Administration, and a serial entrepreneur who has started and sold three of his four startup companies, Zamary -  known to students as Craig - is passionate about introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to entrepreneurial students getting ready to enter the global economy.

鈥淚 showed them how forward thinking the show鈥檚 creators, Hanna-Barbera, were and explained how many of the devices are used today and how they can use this as inspiration to work with creative people to envision the future and create those solutions that we dream up,鈥 Zamary said.

It is an eye-opening lesson for senior Jonathan Kontur, who is majoring in entrepreneurship.

The Jetson鈥檚 imagined things like treadmills, the internet, cell phones, alarm clocks, smartwatches, drones, and robot assistants before any of that existed,鈥 said Kontur. 鈥淚t goes to show that there is a good chance that what is science fiction in the cartoon now will become reality sooner than we expect.鈥

As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes an essential part of technology we use every day, Zamary is challenging his students to think up ways to better match clever people with machines designed to solve difficult problems. As part of his curriculum, Zamary turns to , a cognitive computing technology that became publicly known for winning in 2011. It works by understanding the world similarly to humans via senses, learning, and experience. It can analyze large amounts of data to help people solve problems and make discoveries.

鈥淓very day we are discovering new ways to make machines ever more useful,鈥 said entrepreneurship major Alexander Swaim. 鈥淥ver the past few years, there has been a drastic change in the way we live life. Craig helped us to see what life might be like even twenty years from now. The most important part of that future is the people who will make it happen. Each one of us could be the person that makes the future become the present.鈥

鈥淐raig stresses the importance of innovation in business and how artificial intelligence will change the way business is conducted in the very near future,鈥 said Nicholas Batton, entrepreneurship major. 鈥淭he next leaders in business will be the ones pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. The goal is to understand that learning to develop it for use in production automation, sales, and in-home technology, will provide future business leaders endless opportunities."

Entrepreneurship major Dean Barker is looking to integrate artificial intelligence into the mental health sector. By using it to scan someone鈥檚 public social media profile, Barker wants to use artificial intelligence to analyze the posts and return insight about a patient鈥檚 psychological and behaviors traits.

鈥淐onversation and natural language classifiers can have conversations with patients and extract important information regarding their health, and even suggest a possible diagnosis,鈥 Barker said. 鈥淭his can all be done with artificial intelligence before the patient ever sees a doctor, enabling doctors to operate more efficiently and effectively.鈥 

For students, the possibilities are endless when it comes to integrating artificial intelligence into their future startup companies. Zamary hopes that by planting the seeds now, students will get a head start on thinking in the future, the very way The Jetson鈥檚 did back in the 1960s.

鈥淚 want them to be leaders and positively shape the path between artificial intelligence and humans and work to solve the greatest challenges to humanity,鈥 Zamary said.

"The future of business will depend on artificial intelligence,鈥 said entrepreneurship major Alexander Depasquale. 鈥淭he quicker people can accept that, the quicker they will be multiple steps ahead of the game鈥t is going to be the fourth industrial revolution."

鈥淭he lesson Craig taught about artificial intelligence opened a new range of opportunities,鈥 said entrepreneurship major Matthew Martin. 鈥淗aving a professor that encourages students to think differently and look ahead of the tech curve is one of the best experiences I've had at 两性色午夜 University.鈥
