Casey Carnes	On "how humans can reliably use AI art in a way that doesn't hurt human artists" there are a couple of ways to go. The Artificial intelligence art article is the obvious place; interestingly, that article is current assigned to two other Wikiedu students; might be interesting to connect? (or not). You could work on expanding the Criticism, issues and controversy which doesn't seem to address the concerns or thoughts of artists about AI art; here are some places to start https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.11232 https://ojs.library.queensu.ca/index.php/surveillance-and-society/article/view/10821 https://dl-acm-org.sunypoly.idm.oclc.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3326337?casa_token=ESB5e3u-eE0AAAAA:oC-5svx2uULQ3duWJGyv1siCm36eiPDqomffmWVlLlLl7yoQ_1EaftutGsQp4IvSI-twk0tmnZ2k https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24694452.2023.2210647 https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/6/article/601793/summary https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~jhoey/teaching/cogsci600/papers/Roose2022.pdf https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/tran.12608 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-81907-1_17 talks about another issue around the future of "ectypes" which fits with the themes of course very nicely; suggesting that AI art is fundamentally different, and specifying and labeling that difference.

Bart Casabona	Thinking about neural implants and the brain-computer interface, there seems to be two wikipedia articles: Brain Implant has no section on ethics. Brain computer interfacehas a section on Ethics that could use some revision The Ethical Considerations section references four sources, none newer than 2009. One approach is to review sources that cited those four sources, and see if there are any new insights. For example, Source Note 180 has been cited 165 times, according to Google Scholar. Here are four of those citations that might be of interest: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-2552/ab39cd/meta?casa_token=iKCn3pOhcFQAAAAA:bpRC1VP59NhKI2H0ygd-zXtIoi6vMnbrZxOb9jvdMdqcHj7k5Je9nZyFSMostU0IyjO-CYYRqnZ7dXk2_JJ8EOEZ62Q https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2010.07421.x https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.aam7731 https://europepmc.org/article/pmc/pmc10162913	Brain computer interace (Ethical Considerations)
