CSUSB’s Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration hosted “The AI Debate: ChatGPT vs. Dr. Vincent Nestler” on Nov. 3, where Nestler cautioned students about AI’s human-driven biases, job impacts and misinformation, while ChatGPT argued AI can be a powerful tool if guided ethically.
Several PDC faculty and alumni were featured in the program, delivering podium and poster presentations.
Highlights of the event, hosted by the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration, were the donor address from Debbie Brown, wife of the late Jack H. Brown, philanthropist and founder of Stater Bros. Markets, and the heartfelt address by scholarship recipient Jennifer Cornejo. “Scholarships are so much more than financial gifts,” Cornejo said. “They represent opportunity, hope, potential, passion and a pathway for people like me.”
