BodyWorks Chatbot

*Note: title subject to change before bookings open, but content will remain the same.

In this workshop, students will build and test use an artificially intelligent chatbot to learn about the content in the BodyWorks gallery!

Meeting their facilitator in the BodyWorks gallery, students will begin with a structured exploration of gallery content as they work towards gathering information for the gallery-inspired chatbot they will be creating. From there, they will head up to our lab and explore how artificial intelligence understands language as they begin to build their own chatbot to respond to questions that one might ask about the body. Students will also discover some advantages and disadvantages to AI and discuss ethical implications of the technology.
