Can you trust a chatbot? In this workshop students will, with the help of our BodyWorks gallery, skeptically investigate claims made by a custom Science World AI Chatbot.

Starting in our computer lab, students will discover how artificial intelligence (AI) “understands” language – but doesn’t always get things right! They will put our custom AI “lie-bot” to the test, and venture to the BodyWorks gallery to scrutinize the AI’s claims. We will discuss responsible use of AI, and students will develop investigative skills to combat misinformation.
