Exhibit runs March 23 - April 25. The photo-based and sculptural works in the exhibition examine the history of urban development in Southern California. Working in Los Angeles, Jackie Castillo investigates the relationships between city infrastructure, collective memory and the isolation and anxiety felt by the working class. She documents architectural remnants that reveal the ways that place, labor, memories, and identity become fractured over time. Mónica Arreola approaches similar concerns from the perspective of her hometown, Tijuana. Trained as an architect, she photographs urban developments abandoned mid-construction, revealing the effects of the 2008 United States housing market crash and the financial crisis that reverberated across the border. We invite you to view this exhibition and join us for a reception on Wednesday, March 25, 4 – 7 p.m. Meet the artists and enjoy refreshments. San Diego Mesa College Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

AI is moving fast, faster than most teams, organizations, and leaders can keep up with. Late-stage fixes, loss of trust, stalled launches, and missed opportunities happen when responsible AI is treated as an afterthought. We Have a Powerful Tool in Our Hands, let’s shape it for human-centered impact. This workshop helps you get Build AI Right From the Start, before launch day, when decisions still shape outcomes. The choices you make today will define the AI of Tomorrow. What You’ll Learn In this 3-hour, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to: - Apply the WIN AI™ Methodology to real-world projects - Embed human-centered thinking directly into AI workflows - Turn responsible AI into better design, stronger creativity, and smarter innovation - Leave with practical tools you can immediately apply About the WIN AI™ The WIN AI™ Methodology is WE ARE IN AI’s proprietary, human-centered approach to building responsible AI: from problem definition to deployment. Designed for real-world use in companies, schools, and public institutions, it blends design thinking, systems thinking, agile practices, and gamification into a clear, repeatable methodology. At the heart of the workshop is the WIN AI™, a five-stage journey. The methodology helps reframe AI as something you build with people, not just for them. That’s not just semantic, it’s a completely different design approach. Designing for people assumes you know what they need, builds solutions in isolation, tests only at the end, and prioritizes efficiency over understanding. Designing with people, by contrast, centers real needs from the start, encourages collaboration throughout the process, and emphasizes iteration, feedback, and continuous learning. Every stage is guided by the SPHERE dimensions: Safety, Privacy, Human-Centered, Explainable, Responsibility, and, Environmental. This approach equips teams to move from understanding challenges to designing, testing, and continuously improving AI systems that are practical, impactful, and aligned with human needs. Who Should Attend This workshop is for anyone interested in applying responsible AI to real projects: - Designers (UX, product, service) - Developers & engineers - Product managers and innovation leads - Leaders managing AI initiatives in organizations - Educators teaching or guiding AI projects - Entrepreneurs building AI-powered solutions - Anyone responsible for shaping or building AI-powered work No advanced technical background required, just curiosity, responsibility, and a desire to create AI that drives real impact, builds trust, and makes a difference for people and organizations.
