My name is Derrick, but, my teammates call me DJ. I prefer Derrick but DJ is fine too. I am a second year GMDS major and I am very interested in the use of AI since we are the generation that is experimenting on it the most. I am interested in learning how to use AI as a tool and not an exploit. Since learning how to use Ai ethically my academics have benefited from it, so im even more excited to learn more. I enjoy lifting and spending time with my friends and teammates. And I’m ready to finish the year strong and learn how to utilize Ai.

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.

Hello,

I’m Astrid, and I go by the pronouns she/her/hers. I’m enrolled in the teacher education program for the subjects of English and psychology/philosophy/ethics at Vienna University. Here in Wooster, I’m a teaching assistant for German and also attend classes as a student. In my free time, I enjoy baking and going on hikes, and I also love exploring coffeehouses with my family and friends.

Regarding AI, I would like to mention that, as I feel it is becoming ever more important and intertwined with our daily lives, I’d rather learn to use it efficiently and ethically than neglect it altogether.

Hi everyone! I’m Clio, I am from Columbus, Ohio. I use she/her pronouns. I’m a sophomore here at The College of Wooster, but transferred at the beginning of last fall semester. I plan to graduate with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Spanish. Outside of school, I love traveling, meeting new people, spending time outdoors, and expressing my creativity! Lately, I’ve noticed A.I. becoming a bigger part of my daily life, which is why I’m taking this course. I want to learn how to effectively and ethically use AI, but also how to recognize it’s influence.

The image below is a picture of my last day volunteering at a Spanish Elementary School in Sevilla, Spain as a Culture and Language Assistant. This represents one of the most meaningful experiences to me during my freshman year abroad 🙂

Hi, my name is Patrick Johnson. I use He/Him pronouns. I am a senior and computer science major. As for hobbies…I enjoy playing guitar, watching TV/Movies, exercising, and hiking. I have some background with the technological side of AI through my major and some work as a software developer focusing on AI. However, I will be attending law school next fall for intellectual property/technology law, and I would like to dive deeper into the ethical and societal implications of AI as this course has planned. That is why I am taking this course.
AI is going to spur societal restructuring. LLMs have certainly started this, but there will be an entirely new set of ethical and practical considerations with Agentic AI. Agentic AI is not too far off. Nonetheless, regardless of the type of AI, I believe AI in general will have a significant impact on income distribution, our purpose in professional life, and the way we approach work.
