Why Generative AI

There is a lot of hype and fear around the use of generative AI in the civic sector. We decided to explore the possibilities of the technology.

In low or no trust environments, chatbots function as a kind of technological mediator between youth and government institutions, which can increase people’s willingness to share.

AI is novel, which can encourage participation.

AI-powered data analysis provides real-time feedback to users in the form of “insights,” which are easily shareable with decision-makers.

Chatbots invite youth into a conversation about sensitive topics in a playful, light-hearted way.

Objects

“School objects” are interactive agents at the School of Possibilities. Each is imbued with its own unique personality, and each is committed to doing its job just a little bit better.
