 Movie Night - Oct 31, 2023

On Oct 31, the students of MAAIES attended a movie night where they reflected on the film and discussed its inspiring and meaningful message about the connection between AI and humans, as well as its insights into AI ethics and the human-AI relationship.

Student’s reflection

“This film is pretty inspiring and helps us better understand how AI relates to humans. I would like to attend more movie nights like that.”

"The Creator is an emotional piece and very meaningful. It’s strongly connected to AI Ethics and the Human-AI relationship we learned in class. It creates an insight into how we will develop AI and adopt our relationship to them.
