Hosts Philip Maymin and Dr. Jie Tao, from Fairfield Dolan and the University’s new AI & Tech Institute, show how to move beyond “prompt and pray” toward reliable, structured results with AI. Hear why most one-shot chats fall short, how to “flip the switch” so AI asks clarifying questions, and why treating AI like a brilliant, but clueless, intern leads to better outcomes. You’ll learn the four-part “AI job brief” approach (including role and audience), when to iterate, and how to make structured prompts statistically inevitable—rather than hopeful guesses.
