Dear Colleagues,
COB Organizational Wisdom Studio's new track features four experimental comedy films produced by the Sacramento State's College of Business (COB) students to explore the theme: "Hi AI: Utilizing Emotional Intelligence to Better Adapt Artificial Intelligence". Recent developments in large language models and AI innovations have started changing the paradigm on how employees perform their jobs in organizations, which in turn has prompted business schools to explore new directions in research, pedagogy, and curriculum.Addressing this topic, the experimental comedy films illustrate organizational stories that take place in a near future where AI agents have already become a regular part of work groups and have started developing certain social relationships with employees in these work environments.
Each film intends to prompt our disciplined imagination to explore how organizational members can manage AI. The first episode features the film titled "Hey AI!", produced by Team Thursday, which explores how Path-Goal Leadership Theory along with emotional intelligence can help managers to reduce anxiety among employees who work with AI agents. Following the film, Dr. Oguzhan Aygoren, the Director at Institute for Business Innovation at University of California, Berkeley, joins program co-hosts Elisabeth Nunziato and Dr. Hakan Ozcelik to lead a forum with the audience on this film.
Wisdom Studio episodes, produced with support from the CSUS Provost's Office, intends to serve as a psychological resource for employees, students, and greater society in their efforts to enhance their health, happiness, and performance.
