Abstract
In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings has become increasingly significant. This seminar aims to explore the conceptualization, design, and implementation of a specialized chatbot tailored to meet the unique needs of university students. Created to offer immediate academic and administrative support, the chatbot serves as a 24/7 virtual assistant capable of answering a wide range of queries, from course-related topics and exam schedules to mental health resources.
The seminar will delve into various facets of the project, including technology stack, natural language processing algorithms, and data security measures. A particular focus will be on the chatbot's adaptability and learning capabilities to evolve with the changing needs and queries of the student body. The session will also provide a comprehensive review of the preliminary data collected during the pilot phase, demonstrating efficacy, student engagement, and areas for further development.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the practical challenges and ethical considerations associated with implementing AI in an academic environment. The seminar is designed for educators, technologists, university administrators, and anyone interested in the application of AI for educational enhancement. Join us to explore how this innovative tool can redefine student support mechanisms and contribute to a more efficient, streamlined university experience.
