Experimenting with AI to meet
student needs
Navigating through the curriculum of any major can be a
stormy experience for students both in person or online.
Common questions like: Do I have to take courses in
a particular order? What courses should I take if I am
interested in pursuing a career in a particular field? Or how
is the job market for graduates of this major?

The Supply Chain Management Department is working on
applying online chatbot technology to answer these types
of questions for students. Using artificial intelligence (AI),
the chatbot learns which questions are being asked the
most allowing faculty and advisors the ability to provide
answers about the supply chain management major
through the online chatbot quickly and efficiently.

Over time as the chatbot gains knowledge about what
students are asking, the department can update the
chatbot with the appropriate information once instead of
answering the same questions over and over from many
students. This has the added benefit of giving the student
and advisor more quality time together to connect rather
than wasting time going over basic questions that the
chatbot can answer.

The data metrics gained from student feedback on the
supply chain management chatbot will be used to launch
other AI-initiatives to enhance the RBS student experience.
