In today’s workplaces, multiple generations collaborate, bringing unique perspectives and skills. How do we unlock the power of generational diversity to foster collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect??? Amanda VanOverbeke, Chief of Staff for Americas CEO at Accenture, explains the value of generational differences: "When you have these different generations that come in, they bring this institutional knowledge. Maybe my generation brings a set of problem solving skills. We didn't have Google. Then you have people who are coming in now, they bring in a world knowledge and they bring in access to technology and applications that I've never seen before. We have this melding of ideas at a technology company from problem solving to these new technologies that are coming in and changing faster than anyone had imagined. And that's what is our superpower in being able to bring all those together.” ??

What Does Generative AI Really Mean? ???? Nitesh Chawla, Founding Director of the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society at the University of Notre Dame and Jeff Rhoads, Vice President for Research at Notre Dame Research , discuss generative AI and its impact on how we interact with technology. "Think of AI as a system that learns from specific data to predict, infer, or describe underlying patterns," he explains. "Generative AI adds a probabilistic layer to this, meaning it doesn’t follow strict rules but suggests likely answers based on context. When you ask a question, a large language model taps into a vast network of data to find the closest fit—it's about finding probabilities, not definitive answers." As generative AI continues to evolve, understanding its capabilities can empower us to use it effectively in our lives and work. ??

How can AI enhance your everyday life and work environment? ???? Yong Suk Lee, Program Chair in Technology Ethics and Associate Professor of Technology, Economy, and Global Affairs, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame, encourages experimentation with AI as a starting point. “Whatever one's occupation is, think of a key task that you need to perform, and just sit with one of these very capable models and experiment with it. Ask it, prompt it, play around with it, and see its capabilities. I’m sure many will be surprised by what it can actually do. Then, take it a step further—could you create a research assistant or workflow assistant? Just experimenting with AI at this stage will be very helpful.” The possibilities are vast, and exploring them now could transform how you work and interact with AI in the future. ??
