I was most interested in the variety of the projects! One student was focused on actuarial science, and the other student was working on compiling a soccer player evaluation system. Like most collaborative work, our various experiences and disciplines offered a more complete picture on students’ views and uses of LLMs.

The most useful feedback I received for my project was clarification of scope. In our discussion, I asked about specifics and asked them, individually, about their own ethics. I was mainly focused on asking if it might be problematic to outline minority and immigrant spaces in this specific political climate. Especially in the context of branding a small business as immigrant-owned may have unwanted consequences.
