Background: Companies face many strategic decisions, such as what product lines to offer, what type of customers to target, and where to invest time and resources. Strategic decisions often involve millions or billions of dollars and may impact the long-term viability of a company. A wrong decision based only on gut feel could spell disaster. In addition, companies face many tactical decisions involving the profitability of specific product lines, customer segments, and individual locations. Operational decisions are those made daily, such as what materials need to be reordered. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) system known as a large language model (LLM). Large language models involve software that can discern word and sentence patterns after reading millions of pages of text. These AI systems are designed to produce grammatically and syntactically correct responses, but the results are not always factually correct. Just as a customer relationship management system cannot be used for the computer-aided design of new products, AI systems generally can do only one or two things. For instance, a specific AI system can generate English-language responses or identify faces in pictures and videos, but not both. Even though people can easily do many different things, individual AI systems cannot. ChatGPT was not designed as a business intelligence tool, so it cannot necessarily analyze data specific to a particular company. However, it can describe how AI technology could be used for business analysis. Assignment: This assignment aims to understand how AI can be used as a business intelligence tool to improve tactical and strategic decision-making. Research and describe the evolution of AI for natural language processing (NLP) from rule-based systems, to statistical models, to neural networks. Identify the information sources fed into ChatGPT to train the system. Include in-text citations. Specify a decision necessary for the company you chose in Week 1. Determine the source of the data that an AI system would need to address your decision. Ask ChatGPT, or another AI system, to describe how AI could be used to improve business intelligence for your Week 1 company. After you get a response, ask the AI system to explain at least one of its suggestions. Copy and paste the entire AI conversation including your questions and its answers (up to the first ten pages) into the appendix of your paper. Summarize and analyze the AI chat in the body of your paper. Determine if the responses from the AI were accurate. Identify whether the AI responses focused on strategic, tactical, and/or daily operational decisions. Based on the AI responses and your own research, describe how AI might be used to address the important decision you identified above. This paper must follow the formatting guidelines in The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020), (7th ed.) using Times New Roman 12-point font. The paper, as a minimum, must contain: A title page as described here: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/... to an external site. Three to four pages of text-based content with in-text citations for sources used in your paper.
Write a research paper of 4–6 content pages that addresses the following: Propose and describe the various research skills needed to prepare a dissertation. Practice using the skills that you are developing for finding sources through the CTU Library databases to support your arguments about what research skills are needed to complete a dissertation. Establish how these skills are different from those you used for the research you did in your master's degree program or for an undergraduate senior capstone paper. Research the phrase research and writing assistance for adult learners (hint: this italicized phrase could guide a literature search effort), and then recommend what research and writing assistance you will need over the course of your doctoral journey at CTU. Refer to the CTU Library and the Doctoral Resource Center. Be substantive and clear, and provide scholarly examples to reinforce your ideas. Be sure to cite the references that you used to define and discuss the topics you are required to address for this assignment using proper American Psychological Association (APA) citation format. Refer to the APA Publication Manual, which is a textbook for this class.

Description The Public Budget is the comprehensive financial plan for all levels of government—federal, state, and local—that outlines how funds are used for public services. The process of determining the Federal Budget is complex, and the intricacies of how funds are allocated at the federal level trickle down, impacting not only the budgets of federal agencies and departments but also influencing state and local agencies and their funds for things like education and disaster relief. In this assignment, you will summarize the Public Budget and major budget acts, describe the Federal Budget submission process, and take a closer look at how the Federal Budget's allocation of funds impacts your chosen federal department or agency. Preparation Visit the A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and AgenciesLinks to an external site. and choose one federal agency or department to explore in this assignment.
Description FOR THIS WEEK'S DISCUSSION Let's consider a hypothetical scenario for a business. Suppose The Holiday Restaurant near I-80 in Des Moines, Iowa, has a sign at their entrance that reads: “We reserve the right to refuse service to any Muslim or person of Middle Eastern descent.” Suppose also that the restaurant is very popular to local residents, and that only 40 percent of its patrons are travelers on I-80. Why would Congress have power under the Civil Rights Act of 1964Links to an external site. to require restaurants and hotels not to discriminate against interstate travelers on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin? Are the owners of the Holiday Restaurant in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? What would happen if the owners resisted enforcement by claiming that Title II of the act (relating to “public accommodations” such as hotels, motels, and restaurants) was unconstitutional? Would your analysis change if the sign read “we reserve the right to refuse service to any homosexual person for religious reasons?”
