This one-hour session for the University of the Pacific Benerd College was designed to demystify generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and showcased its potential as a powerful tool to enhance our everyday lives and work. Participants were introduced to the fundamentals of GenAI, including how it learned and processed information and assisted in tasks that ranged from content creation to data analysis. Rather than viewing AI as a competitor, this session encouraged attendees to see it as a collaborative partner that could streamline repetitive tasks, support creative processes, and provide deeper insights to help make informed decisions. The presentation also introduced the DARE framework to encourage people to Develop, Augment, Research, and Enhance with GenAI.
