Thank you so much to our adviser, 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗘𝗵𝗱𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗰, for giving us this wonderful opportunity; to our speakers, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝗽𝘂𝘁 and 𝗠𝘀. 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼, for sharing their insights and experiences; to the panelists for their valuable perspectives; and to 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹, under the stewardship of 𝗠𝘀. 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼, for graciously hosting such an immersive event and for the delicious food.

Our workshop last 𝟯𝟭 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 was deeply impactful. We talked about how AI is often generic, but our stories are not. It was a day of realizing that if we see AI as a tool, not a threat, we can use it to protect our culture, honor the past, and create content that actually means something.

The challenge now is not just learning new tools, but knowing how to use them to preserve the soul of a place and give a voice back to those history tries to erase.
