This technology alreadyshows the potential to dramatically change the trajectory of careers; many fear the elimination of jobs.At the same time, others believe that GenAI will create entire new fields of employment andopportunity. Meanwhile, parallel concerns are detrimental effects on cybersecurity and privacy. Aportion of our course content covers the broad topic of data innovations, including GenAI. The lecturethat includes this topic provides connection to servant leadership. Our guiding principle is to practicemastery of this technology in ways that enhance humanity and promote transparency.
