Week 2: AI Ethics (Ishani)

During my group’s research, I discovered that AI diminishes our creativity. It lacks human artistic expression and experiences. Hence, it takes away the originality. Since AI is capable of creating complex and striking pieces of art, it lacks human consciousness and emotional depth, all essential components of artistic expression. Because AI tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney can mimic artists’ styles without permission, potentially undermining their creative endeavors and financial livelihoods, this has raised concerns within the art community.

There are also drawbacks to using AI, like legally in the US, copyright protection for AI-generated works is difficult because U.S. laws demand human authorship.

After group shareouts, I also had a different perspective on AI since they talked about how AI tends to make responses longer and more wordy than they should be.

Ishani (Introduction)

Hi,

My name is Ishani, and I use the pronouns she/her/hers. I’m majoring in Economics with a minor in Communication Studies. I’m from Nepal. My hobbies include doing my nails, painting, watching movies, and spending time with friends.

I’m taking this class as we use AI every day and it has become a big part of our lives, so I want to learn more about it and learn how to use it effectively.

I think this picture represents me, as you would not see me without nail polish.
