This Spring, students in my Writing 122 class used the inspiring stories in the Tech Policy Lab’s collection, Telling Stories: On Culturally Responsive AI ( ed. Ryan Calo, Batya Friedman, Tadayoshi Kohno, Hannah Almeter and Nick Logler. UWashington: 2020) to consider the cultural impacts of future widespread adoption of artificial intelligence. All of them wrote what we called “cautionary tales” that considered what would be gained and lost by the seemingly magical pervasive adoption of artificial intelligence in a wide range of realms.

Slides to Introduce the Project are here.

Some students were willing to share their stories in a collection (below)
