In a workshop designed to co-construct knowledge about AI’s social implications, the artist guided participants to envision the future of chatbots. Participants were prompted to script imagined dialogues with an AI, thinking beyond profit-driven and efficiency-focused narratives.
Using a straightforward chatbot template provided by the artist, participants transformed their dialogues into interactive programs. The resulting videos capture participants interacting with these custom-built chatbots, showcasing conversations that embody their unique perspectives.
