Those who attend will be shown how to create a custom, copyright-free Generative AI model and how to use it in a creative project. Based on a model trained from Creative Commons data, those in the workshop will layer on custom user-defined data and create a Generative AI. The user-defined data will be sourced from a participating professor. The process of creating a custom Generative AI with ethical sources for creative use cases will be demonstrated.

The session will be in Room 4100, Academic Learning Commons (MCALC), 1000 Floyd Ave. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop to follow along or to start the process themselves.
