Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are advancing everyday AI use, offering vast information but lacking specialized knowledge, leading enterprises to develop customized AI models. Using techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), businesses can integrate their proprietary data with general models for tailored applications while ensuring data security. The use of synthetic data also helps organizations quickly gather and prepare the necessary training data, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs in AI deployment.

🚢 AI in Maritime Operations – A Reality Check with Marco Poisler 🌐   We're thrilled to highlight the incredible work of our current DBA student, Marco Poisler, who is leading the way in applying AI to real-world challenges in the maritime industry.   Guided by Dr. Meng Li, founding Director of the Human-Centered AI Institute at UH Bauer and his dissertation chair, Marco’s preliminary research has laid the foundation for this industry-focused workshop.

Inspiring words from our DBA student, Jevon Wooden, MBA, at our recent semester kick-off dinner:   "Being in a program with such an outstanding, diverse group of top performers is a privilege. Only 2% of people in the US hold a Doctorate or PhD, and only 35 schools in the nation are accredited for our curriculum. It's not about the outcome but the impact created along the journey."   Thank you, Jevon Wooden, MBA, ACC💡, for reminding us of the value and uniqueness of our DBA program. We are proud to provide a world-class education that empowers our students to make a real difference. Dr. Kendra Wisdom Kristy Hennessey Dr. Vanessa Patrick University of Houston, C.T.
