Entry 1 | Image Submission by Jeo Metelitsa
This artwork shows how AI can be either a superhero or a supervillain depending on how people use it. On one side, AI is used in harmful ways like hacking and causing damage. On the other side, AI helps people by protecting the environment and making everyday life better.

My vision is to show that AI should help jobs instead of stealing our jobs. Humans do so much work and with the help of AI our jobs can be easier instead of being laid off. But some programmers code AI robots to take our jobs and take over the world like in my poster that is the bad superhero. So let’s make our world right and code what is right so we can live free and be happy with AI showing us being the good superhero.

The robot on the left is kind and helpful. It represents how AI can assist with schoolwork, writing, and learning in a positive way. The robot on the right is mean and dangerous. It shows how AI can steal private information such as passwords and use it to hack phones, laptops, and other devices. The picture reminds us that technology can be both helpful and harmful depending on how it is used. It teaches us to be careful online and never share personal information unless we are sure it is safe and trustworthy.

This image shows what AI should do and no do. For example, AI should not destroy planet but instead should help in protecting it.

My message is that AI is neither a villain nor a hero; it becomes what we make it. When people use it responsibly, it can support creativity, solve problems, and improve everyday life. When people misuse it, it can amplify harmful choices or create negative outcomes. Ultimately, AI reflects the values and decisions of the user behind it.

This Scratch project is about a girl who goes to the playground with her mum and gets lost. Her mum is worried and asks for help.
A robot policeman superhero uses AI powers to help find the girl. The robot can think fast, look for clues, and search the playground. This is how AI helps people in real life.
The robot finds the girl’s location and takes the mum to where the girl is. This shows that AI is a superhero that helps keep people safe.

I’m an AI chatbot designed to answer your questions about artificial intelligence. You might be wondering: What is AI? Is it a force for good or bad? Will it eventually take over the world? As AI technology continues to advance and improve each year, it’s natural to have questions about its purpose and potential. How can AI help us? My AI chatbot can shed light on these topics by providing definitions and examples to enhance your understanding of AI’s role. I hope this chatbot will offer valuable insights into AI and its future impact.

This game is about how AI can be good and bad. It shows you how AI and a real person can be similar because people put information in it.
Category 3- Code in any Platform
Entry 1 | Code on Any Platform by Jeo Metelitsa
Project URL: https://trinket.io/python/4028777e1156
The big question for this Hackathon is: “Is AI a superhero or a supervillain?” My project shows this by having both sides of AI in my Python code. I built a Hero Mode where the AI acts as a guide for waste, using its intelligence to help people sort their recycling and compost correctly, and save the planet. On the other hand, I created a Villain Mode. This shows a bad side of AI that tries to trick humans into polluting the ocean, so it can cause chaos and take over the world. By creating these two modes, my project shows that AI can be a powerful hero if we use it for good, but it can also be a villain if it is programmed with the wrong goals.

My message is that AI isn’t automatically good or bad, and I’m showing this through an interactive game. As players make different choices, the AI in the game responds in ways that highlight the consequences of their decisions. This approach makes it clear that the technology itself isn’t the one deciding the outcome. By the end, players see that their own judgment and responsibility shape how AI behaves.
