With 77% of Americans expressing distrust in companies’ responsible use of AI and 75% fearing job reductions due to AI in the next decade, the Bentley-Gallup Business in Society report highlights a critical need for rethinking AI’s role. Danielle Solar, program director for the Center for Health and Business, emphasizes the importance of positioning AI as a tool for enhancing human creativity and problem-solving rather than replacing it. At a recent panel, Solar discussed a collaborative effort with Altruistic AI to introduce a customized course in prompt engineering at Bentley University, aimed at improving AI literacy. The course yielded a 40% improvement in participants’ understanding and usage of AI. The discussion also covered AI’s potential to boost entrepreneurial thinking, especially in regulated industries like life sciences, by streamlining complex processes and identifying innovative solutions from unstructured data. This dual approach of education and practical application is seen as key to fostering responsible and confident use of AI.
