AK DMD 400 Capstone

CONCEPT OVERVIEW: I will be exploring the general idea of how AI has affected the landscape of professional industries. The project will involve me creating 3 AI-assisted artworks and having in-depth conversations about them with 3 individuals all from different professions and backgrounds.   This week, I made some progress with respect to scheduling my interviews. I was able to pinpoint the specific week that I aim to conduct my zoom conversations with my participants involved in the project. As things stand right now, the first week in March during spring break is when I plan to have them all completed. I have been in communication with all three of my participants with one confirmed day and time and am waiting to hear back from the other two. These gains were significant as it gave me the time and energy to give attention to another important aspect, the development of the series of mini projects.   The 3 areas of AI’s impact that I am exploring are Marketing, Photo...

Fortunately, I have found a suitable replacement, a healthcare marketing professional. I find it interesting how this process is unfolding for me as in a recent meeting with one of my ...

I scheduled my first zoom meeting with my social impact advisor for Monday, 2/12/24. I plan to have a general discussion on AI topics and request guidance on types of AI creations that I should make so I can present them to my participants.   As of right now, all my participants are willing to take part in my project. One, however, is unfortunately dealing with health-related issues. Therefore, the situation might force me to pivot in a new direction and involve someone new. I’ll have to gauge how it goes in the coming days and find a quick alternate participant. So far that is my biggest challenge as I want to make sure I can count on everyone to follow through with their commitment. Thankfully, their sincere interest in the project allows me to have an open dialogue with them so that we can plan o...
