EchoBot: Building an Interactive Family Legacy through AI

Bring the idea of writing stories for your family into the technological age. Using a generative AI platform, we will interactively create a way for you to pass your presence and knowledge to future generations of your family. You will find personal fulfillment and joy as you build your personal EchoBot which will provide support and insight for your family just as easily as if they were having a conversation with you. Consider this an introduction to creative AI use. A free subscription to an instructor-chosen AI platform will be set up during the first-class session. You don’t need to know anything about AI, but you should be comfortable using a computer or device. All students are encouraged to bring a personal device that they use on a daily basis (laptop, iPad, or tablet) to each class session however the class will be held in a computer lab for those that prefer to use campus computers.
