Anti-Blackness Bots in Artificial Intelligence
No full textThis research project examines how racial bias and anti-blackness in artificial intelligence (A.I.) disadvantage African Americans and predict issues for broader American society. Specifically, it analyzes the words and stereotypes that ChatGPT uses to describe African Americans and investigates whether these words and stereotypes are linked to anti-blackness. Terms like “blacks” and “colored people,” as well as racial stereotypes portraying African Americans as inherently lazy, unhealthy, and unintelligent, may communicate what Safiya Umoja Noble calls “algorithmic oppression” and reflect biased encoding by the conversational bot’s developers [Algorithms of Oppression]. Supporting these conclusions, secondary scholarship includes Cathy O\u27Neil\u27s Weapons of Math Destruction (2016), Ruha Benjamin\u27s Race After Technology (2019), and Safiya Umoja Noble’s Algorithms of Oppression (2018). Combining summaries of this secondary scholarship with findings from experiments on ChatGPT helps develop tools to reveal and fight both the hidden and visible aspects of anti-blackness within algorithms, code, and evolving A.I. technologies. This effort can help empower African Americans by increasing awareness of anti-blackness in these technologies and creating tools to counteract it
Accessible Art: Connecting Community Through Artistic Expression
No full textI answered an important investigative question: How can we use art to connect our community? I illustrated, produced, and installed a “Mini Art Vending Machine” on campus to provide the Ursinus College community easy access to original works of art. I explored visual topics that would connect not only current students, but also prospective students, alumni, and members of the Collegeville community.
The Mini Art Vending Machine\u27s permanent home is within Schellhase Commons. However, the machine will frequently move locations to further enhance events or to bring further exposure to the student artists. You can expect to see it at admission events, Berman Museum receptions, and any other campus or community events
