Friday 6 November
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM · Workshop: The AI Challenge Lab: Pick Two, Build One
Prof. Alex Lima, Campus Director, Atlantis University
A hands-on team workshop. Teams choose two of these six challenges and combine them into one deliverable project, working with ChatGPT along the way.
- Build a virtual company in 90 minutes: product, business model, pricing, marketing, financial projections and an investor pitch.
- AI detective: find the fraud, anomalies and falling sales hidden in 1,000 customer transactions, and recommend fixes.
- Build your own AI agent: e.g. an admissions advisor or a career coach, with instructions, knowledge, decision rules and test cases.
- Beat the AI: plan deliveries to 15 locations with limited vehicles and deadlines by hand, then improve the plan with AI.
- Predict the future: flag which of 100 industrial machines are at risk of failing, and recommend preventive maintenance.
- Humans vs. AI: decide five business dilemmas yourselves, then compare the AI's recommendations and challenge its reasoning.
2:00 to 5:00 PM · Activity: The Social Skills Lab: Build, Practice, Connect
