AIMS OF STUDY
The aim of this auto-ethnographic study is to provide insight into the lived experiences of higher education faculty in their attempt to design a new educational module with an advertising/marketing specialism making the best use of  Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). This is in light of increasingly prevalent social robots, such as ChatGPT4, Dall-E, Designer etc., which are particularly disruptive within the field of advertising. The acceleration of A.I. applications across various fields of content creation has elevated the importance of a graduate’s self-efficacy in working with A.I. in terms of employability. 

The auto-ethnography will be presented in the form of an evocative narrative and will share feelings, hopes, aesthetic reactions, and moral dispositions.  

As befitting a rigorous institutional auto-ethnography, the study will aim to explore the following research questions: 

• Can AI be used to help develop teaching and learning materials?  
• How should we teach AI to advertising students?  
• What are the most effective and useful programs that infuse AI concepts within an advertising curriculum?
