AI in the Wild Collection (ongoing)

Ongoing throughout quarter

Competencies: Society, Ethics and Policy; Critical Analysis, Fluency, and Evaluation

Overview

The world of AI is evolving quickly. This discussion forum is for cutting through the noise: a collaborative, course-long collection of notable real-world AI applications, use cases, and implications observed “in the wild.”

I want you paying attention to what’s happening beyond the class, considering it’s implications, and teaching the rest of us about notable happenings.

Details

  • Source/context of the observation
  • Brief note on what makes it noteworthy (1-4 sentences)
  • A subjective categorization - e.g. ‘This is a Good/Bad/Clever/Wild/Interesting/Useful/etc use case’
