All About the AI, AI, AI

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm. 

Since ChatGPT's public release a couple years ago, I've been excitedly eating up all things AI. I want to think and talk about all the ways it's rewriting the way we do things in life. 

Here are some of my recent AI-related activities:

 

AI in Art Course

Sharing some of my reflections and artwork from taking Professor Lisa Park's course titled, "Design 5580: AI in Art: Redefining Creativity in the 21st Century". This was a hands-on studio course where we learned to engage visual and multimedia AI tools in our individual artistic practice.

AI in Vietnam

Supported by the Penn Global Dissertation Grant, I was lucky to spend 3 months living in Vietnam and chatting about AI + technology with people from all backgrounds. It's been fun editing and sharing the stories via little videos online. I'm currently working on posting more content from my fieldwork.

AI in Preserving Oral History

In a fascinating intersection of technology, heritage, and community preservation, I'm exploring the potential of AI tools to help maintain, repair, and care for the spirit of the 400-year old rural village on Vietnam’s central coast where I was born.

AI Digital Divide Op-Ed

As part of the 2023-2024 Perry World House Graduate Associates Program, we've been chatting about AI's impact in policy & global affairs (among many geopolitics!). I'm currently working on an op-ed piece about AI and the digital divide from the perspective of my diaspora village. 

AI in Our Lives Course

I'm writing up a blog sharing some of my thoughts and outtakes from taking Professor Stefano Puntoni's really cool MBA Marketing course titled, "MKTG 7790: AI in Our Lives: The Behavioral Science of Autonomous Technology".

AI for Immunology

Previously compiled an educational resource hub to showcase ways AI tools are impacting the way we do research in the Immunology field! As an early exploration into how AI is impacting our ability to do science, much of the resources may not be out of date from the rapid pace of AI advancement.
