Congratulations to our LifeWork lead intern Trey Runner who just placed first in an #AI competition! Congratulations Trey on a job well done!
This week, my team and I had the opportunity to compete in a AI Competition through the Coles Leadership Scholars Program, where we took home 1st place and the $1,500 prize! Alaric Boban, Hunter Mills, Nicole Rios, AJ Norton, and I worked together to design and build a fully working draft of a web-based AI tool for ResultsCX using AWS. With a limited amount of time and resources available, we pushed what we were given as far as we could, created our own example data to demonstrate the system, and finished with a functional prototype that we were genuinely proud to present. I am incredibly proud of what our team was able to accomplish. Seeing our ideas develop throughout the competition and eventually come together into something that actually worked made all of the time, problem solving, and trial and error worth it. A huge thank you to ResultsCX, Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Kennesaw State University - Michael J. Coles College of Business, and the Coles College of Business Leadership Scholars Program for making this competition possible. I also really appreciate Kevin D. Gecowets, PhD, the judges, staff, and everyone involved who offered advice, answered our questions, and gave us opportunities to learn throughout the event. Winning was an amazing way to finish the competition, but I am just as proud of the product we built and what we learned together in the process. This was an experience I will definitely carry forward into future projects. #ColesAICompetition #AI #Scholars #Business
