AI Minor

As artificial intelligence transforms the world in which they live and work, students across disciplines are eager to understand these changes and build a deeper knowledge of AI. To meet this need, the proposed minor offers a structured path for students to develop both practical fluency with AI tools and a critical understanding of their history, limitations, and implications.

The Datacenter Does Not Exist: Exocapitalism and A.I.

Friday, March 6 | 3:30 p.m.
Post Center, Hospitality Suite

Marek Poliks is a Minneapolis-based theoretical researcher in deep learning and AI whose work focuses on the autonomy and self-organizing nature of technical infrastructure, with a PhD from Harvard University and teaching experience in Berklee College of Music’s Electronic Production and Design department.

Roberto Alonso Trillo is a Hong Kong–based theorist and artist whose interdisciplinary practice and writing with M. Poliks explore deep learning systems through contemporary political theory.

Their books Exocapitalism (2025) and Choreomata (2023) examine the ontological ties between capitalism, computation, and AI, and they received Google’s 2024 Art and Machine Intelligence Award for their work in AI interface design.

Endicott College's Angle Center Selected for OpenAI Education Showcase

We're thrilled to announce that OpenAI Education has chosen Endicott College's Angle Center for Entrepreneurship as one of its featured educational cases. Our submission highlighted the innovative use of a custom GPT, "Endicott Catalyst," to enhance and extend our entrepreneurial curriculum for students. We're proud to be recognized alongside other prestigious institutions for our work in this space.

Spark U and the Endicott Catalyst

The Angle Center created Spark U, a voluntary program on Canvas, to help students develop their business ideas. This program serves as a foundational precursor to our annual Spark Tank competition, but it's open to any student with an entrepreneurial spirit. Our custom-built AI assistant, Endicott Catalyst, is now an integral part of this experience.

Why a Custom GPT?

The need for a tool like Endicott Catalyst arose from several key challenges:

  • Accessibility: We wanted to provide students with entrepreneurial resources whenever and wherever they need them—whether on the shop floor, in their dorm room, or late at night. The Angle Center's expertise can now be available 24/7.
  • Extending Our Heritage: The Angle Center is built on the entrepreneurial expertise and legacy of Colin and Erika Angle. Endicott Catalyst helps us scale this heritage, making their foundational knowledge accessible to every student.
  • Rigorous Curriculum: The custom GPT is designed to adhere to the rigor of current entrepreneurial curricula, ensuring students receive high-quality, relevant guidance.
  • Building Strong Foundations: Endicott Catalyst acts as a seasoned startup investor, guiding students to build their ventures on strong, well-vetted business model foundations.
  • Campus-Specific Intelligence: The tool is programmed to understand that it "lives" on the campus of Endicott College, ensuring its interactions are not only professional but also tailored to our unique community.

Students in Spark U use Endicott Catalyst as a sounding board as they work through their entire Business Model Canvas. This integration of AI is continuously evolving and will be further expanded in the upcoming academic year, empowering more students to turn their ideas into reality.

Access Endicott Catalyst.
