  1. OK.
  2. So the A I Gender Identity and Culture project is one
  3. of the two projects that you'll do in this class.
  4. Um
  5. This project actually, you'll mostly do in your recitations.
  6. Um There's two recitation sections
  7. or sessions that are
  8. um devoted to the project.
  9. You'll have a small,
  10. little bit of homework to do before each of those
  11. um which are noted in week four and five.
  12. Um And then you'll have a, a revision of an essay due on week six
  13. here. I will tell you a little bit more about it.
  14. So, the goal of it
  15. is to really think about
  16. um how A I is
  17. interacting and intersecting with identity and culture.
  18. And we talk a lot about identity and culture in this class,
  19. especially on gender identity,
  20. sexual orientation,
  21. um sexual identity, et cetera.
  22. And so this project asks us to kind of think about
  23. how useful A I can be to us and how we can make it
  24. more useful to us in developing our own voice while we use A I.
  25. So there's three learning goals for the project. First,
  26. you'll hopefully understand how culture is reflected in A I.
  27. Um So you'll see examples of
  28. um cultural bias.
  29. Um In A I
  30. um second, you'll understand how culture is generated by A I
  31. um including the perpetuation,
  32. but also maybe reducing bias. So not only does A I
  33. reflect culture, but it also generates or creates culture.
  34. So that's what the second learning outcome is all about.
  35. And then the third learning outcome is my hope is that
  36. you develop a stronger sense of your own voice and,
  37. and autonomy.
  38. Um which means like your sense of ability to do things and to have power
  39. um while you're using A I,
  40. so we will connect this lesson
  41. um to or this assignment to our lessons around identity
  42. um in difference.
  43. And so this will end up looking familiar.
  44. It's what you're gonna do for one of the homework assignments,
  45. but it's the diversity wheel in the Alan Johnson
  46. reading that you actually read for week one.
  47. And we will be looking um kind of at that lens of difference and diversity.
  48. And we'll look at two forms of A I. First, we'll look at mid journey, which is um an A I
  49. um program that does auto descriptions of images.
  50. And then it can also create images based on text description.
  51. So we're gonna use it both ways. Um And that'll be the recitation on September 20th.
  52. And then we'll also explore chat GP T
  53. um And we'll be working on a draft of
  54. an essay about gender and how it's shaped your life
  55. and that will be actually generated by chat GP T.
  56. Um And we'll discuss it on the recitation in September 27th.
  57. And then you will revise that essay,
  58. developing your own sense of voice. Um And turn that revised essay in on October 4th.
  59. So that's the full project.
  60. Um The due dates and the value,
  61. the point values for each of those are all in canvas under the assignments.
  62. Um And you can read the details there.
