Marshall School of Business Dean Geoffrey Garrett will chair the committee of faculty and leaders from across USC, according to an email from the USC AI Initiative. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In the email, Garrett announced USC\u2019s first AI Summit, a gathering of scholars, industry experts, educators, and students exploring the future of AI in the classroom that will be held on Nov. 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Anish Nehete, an applied data science masters student, said he is excited to see where AI is going in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI use AI every day, from tracking internships to managing my applications to generating cover letters, so I\u2019m big on AI for applying to jobs,\u201d Nehete said. \u201cI use ChatGPT for day-to-day life and for any questions. If I want to do anything in my life, the first thing I do is ask ChatGPT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/careers.usc.edu\/ai-guidelines\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">USC Career Center<\/a> recognizes the way in which generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini play a role in the career development process, and provides resources to students in order to leverage this through incorporating AI to help students build resumes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Another student, Chutitad Singkarin, a freshman majoring in industrial and systems engineering, found that AI was helpful in the job application process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cAI is very helpful for me, because normally when we apply for a job in general, we need to do something that is very redundant, and if we have AI, AI can just replicate or duplicate the things like that for us,\u201d Singkarin said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Quintin Cui, a sophomore studying analytics, said he often used AI to search for jobs and internships, adding how he used it to \u201cgenerate cover letter and to search for some information of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Peter Cardon, who will be a member of the AI committee, told Annenberg Media that he wants to gain insights from students and faculty to help USC become an AI leader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cStudents, staff, and faculty can expect that the committee will try to create opportunities for the USC committee by creating events, providing resources, and setting a vision for USC to be an AI leader,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone is on an AI journey now and we want to ensure it is a shared journey.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Interim President Beong-Soo Kim announced a new President\u2019s AI Strategy Committee on Oct. 9, designed to monitor USC\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2007,3476,3470,3472,3475,3473,48,52,51,47,50,49,3477,3471,3474],"class_list":["post-2631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ai","tag-ai-for-job-applications","tag-ai-in-colleges","tag-beong-soo-kim","tag-chat-gpt","tag-geoffrey-garrett","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-peter-cardon","tag-usc-ai","tag-usc-ai-initiative"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
