Experts@IU - Today, communication skills can make all the difference. And now, AI can help build yours.
with Prof. Dr. Kamal Bhattacharya
Educational systems should equip you with relevant, future-proof skills to ensure your success. And while that may be mostly the case, a core pillar of your professional skill set often gets overlooked.
But with today’s unprecedented shift towards AI and automation, the nature of work itself is changing. You can already see companies have AI answering calls, sending emails and booking appointments.
Yet skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and how well you communicate can make or break your career. And you’re going to need every single advantage.
Therefore, this month’s Experts@IU is a deep dive into how humans can leverage AI to improve communication with each other. And as someone who’s spent most of his career in applied R&D at IBM Research across the US, India and Africa, IU’s Professor Bhattacharya is uniquely qualified to guide you.
December 7th, 2022 from 3:00 - 4:00 pm (CEST) via Zoom
