The Bard Center for the Study of Hate welcomes Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella of Carnegie Mellon University, who will discuss and demonstrate their AI-scaffolded group chat platform for students called Sway, which was recently covered in Inside Higher Ed. Attendees will get hands-on experience with Sway and learn how they can use it.
This AI-facilitated chat marks a significant advancement in the technology available to support human-to-human dialogue. It features a sophisticated AI facilitator that guides discussion in a productive direction, probing the reasons behind students’ beliefs, and steering conversations back to core issues when they get sidetracked as it provides relevant information to ground discussions.
