When John James Audubon was working on his four-volume Birds of America in the 1820s–1830s, ornithological conservation of any kind was hardly discussed, particularly when the birds he described seemed so overwhelmingly abundant: “The air was literally filled with pigeons; the light of noon-day was obscured as by an eclipse.” Since then, human threats to avian wildlife have mounted, as many species have been hunted to extinction or near-extinction for food, sport, and fashion—or threatened by urban development, climate change, and overuse of fertilizers and pesticides.

The topic of whether or not we are living in a simulation has garnered a lot of attention in recent years. Scientists and philosophers have weighed in on the matter, with some arguing that it is statistically likely that we are living in a computer-generated reality. Areas of conversation may include: What are the arguments for and against the idea that our reality is a simulation? What are the implications of this idea and what could it mean for our understanding of the universe and our place within it? What are the ways in which this concept has been explored in popular culture, such as in the film "The Matrix"?

In this workshop attendees will practice core creative literacies for work with generative AI. They will apply studio production techniques used in film, television, and games to learn to create a cohesive output from multiple AI tools at once, including image, text, and sound generation. This workshop is open to all skill levels.

In October of 2022, the Office of Science and Technology Policy released The White House Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is a set of guidelines that outline the rights and responsibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and their creators—from issues of data privacy to algorithmic decision-making systems for financial lending and court-ordered probation. Areas of conversation may include: What are the potential impacts of AI on society and the economy? What role should the government play in regulating the use of AI? What are the ethical considerations of AI development, particularly in industries such as healthcare, education, and criminal justice?
