INSTRUCTIONS / ANSWERS
Part A
Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools
A1: Access a
Generative AI tool
You will need access to ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot, or another generative AI
tool. If you’re not sure whether a tool will work for this assignment, please contact your
professor.
You can sign up for ChatGPT at https://chat.openai.com/ using your personal or UMGC issued
email address. If you have a Gmail account, you already have access to Google’s Bard at
http://gemini.google.com. Alternatively, you can use your UMGC issued email to use Microsoft’s
Copilot at http://copilot.umgc.edu (just sign in with your UMGC email and password).
A2. Design a
prompt
Ask the AI tool to tell you about the top three trends in your industry. (For example, “What are
the top three trends in the movie production industry?”) You may need to experiment with
different prompts until you’re satisfied with the results.

person’s (or organization’s) opinion.
Using the information collected in your internet research, what appear to be the top three
trends in your industry?
Trend 1:
Trend 2:
Trend 3:

sources

references in APA format (utilize the UMGC Library resources for help with citation formats).
