           The third event that I had the pleasure of attending was about the decolonization of AI.  I believe that AI technology is rapidly advancing and has the potential to greatly impact society. However, I also believe that it is important to consider the issue of agency when it comes to AI. While AI can perform tasks and make decisions based on data and algorithms, it ultimately lacks the human element of consciousness and free will. This raises questions about who is responsible for the actions and decisions made by AI, and whether they can be held accountable for any negative consequences that may arise. As we continue to develop AI technology, it is important to carefully consider these ethical implications and develop guidelines to ensure that AI is used in a responsible and safe manner.          In one program, the AI produced portraits of people during the renaissance but made everyone that did the portrait white.   It seems to me that these AI apps are merely making the pr

           Space is a concept that has always caught my eye in some way especially as it can be considered art in every aspect. The first two events I had the chance to take part in were about cosmological elements, including all of the detectable components in the sky, such as stars. I did not know much about things related to space but my eyes were opened through the art pieces I was shown. The art pieces showed a wide array of images and concepts that seemed out of this world. It showed how the science of studying space can be turned or shown in a way that expresses it as art. An example of this is one of the photos during the second event showing the trajectory of orbit. It showed an amazing image representing the science behind objects orbiting around a planet.           The moon landing video is another example that intrigues me connecting space and art. There have been many conspiracies about if the moon landing video was real or not. The film of the first lunar landing was a bi
