Tech Tuesday: University of Cincinnati creates its own version of an AI chatbot based on mascot

Some colleges and universities are hesitant about students using AI, while others have embraced it. The University of Cincinnati has created its own version of an AI chatbot, BearcatGPT, becoming the first Ohio university to incorporate their own AI platform for their students. For most people, networking is vital to the progression of their careers. But is networking equal for all? We will talk about the factors that play into successful networking and if networking sometimes leads to nowhere, especially in the tech industry. And we're discussing two recent lawsuits. The first one is Elon Musk's against OpenAI, which was lost due to the timeliness of the suit. The second one is against many kids' dream vacation, Disney, and what it means for the parks. It's all part of the discussion for this week's Tech Tuesday. Guests: Bharath Prabhakaran, vice president and chief digital officer, University of Cincinnati Ethel Mickey, author and assistant professor of sociology, University of California at San Bernadino Russell Holly, director of commerce content, CNET
