University Overview

Dissertation: Analysing Societal attitudes towards AI through Chatbots: (A+): This project aims to investigate and study the current societal attitudes towards AI and its applications through AI-enabled Chabot. The surveys were conducted through this Chabot (call it Gini -a survey bot) which administers survey questionnaires with members of the public to understand their concerns about recent trends towards wider deployment of AI. The Gini bot can support a large number of users concurrently. Gini is integrated with Google Assistant for the speech variant of the bot and also with Virtual Furhat Social Robot simulator to understand the effect of embodiment in such conversational agents as well as give ease of use for

the elderly and disabled. The Gini chatbot is deployed as a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment docker control agile methodology deployment with auto synchronization to GitHub. To investigate the effectiveness and limitations of such a chatbots, we conducted a study with the public, where participants answered the survey through Gini. The detailed analysis disclosed that the chatbot drove a substantially greater participant engagement and elicited significantly improved responses. Driven from the results we list the best design considerations while building AI-powered survey chatbots as efficient survey agents and beyond. The results of the people's attitudes show that the public generally embraces AI.
