Solve a World Problem

Our task for this project was to solve a world problem from a list of problems. Our group chose AI safety and responsibility as the problem, so we got to work solving it. We started out by annotating multiple articles from sources like the White House, Harvard University, The Department of Homeland security;these gave a decent idea of how we could make AI more safe. We then brainstormed ideas with each other and came up with a list of 8 different methods we could use. Then we decided to build a guidebook for safe and responsible use of AI. 

Above is our slideshow that we presented to our class to showcase our solution. Below are some of the sources we used to come up with ideas for our guidebook: ⬇

Engineering Design Cycle:

• We cut out two pieces of plywood that matched the exact size of a piece of paper

• Then we hot glued PVC pipes to the wood and insert a metal pipe

• This did not work so we had to use another course of action

• Our next steps were to come up with a new idea

• We then decided to make our own door hinge though this didn't work

• Next we used a real door hinge and added a cloth back cover to help protect from cuts

• This was our final solution before we stapled our 8 solutions to the book

Reflection:

Overall I think I did well on building the prototypes though they eventually required some tweaking. I also was open to new ideas that could help improve our solution. 

2 things I could improve on were communication with building the prototypes and listening to criticism.
