An interactive exhibition to inspire creative use of Chat-GPT and critical reflection on human-AI relationship
With the buzz about Chat-GPT sweeping the internet, this exhibition sought to go beyond knowledge sharing, offering a hands-on, immersive experience for a diverse audience to experiment with prompting and reflect on how they can apply it in their daily lives.
The first station invited visitors to reflect on and share their initial understanding about ChatGPT: How do they feel about the technology? What potential or risks do they see? After the guided activities in the second station, they would reassess these impressions to reflect on what their learnings and changes.
Facilitated by prompt cheat sheets, visitors engaged in a diverse array of activities with ChatGPT, ranging from role play, simulation, gaming, to open-ended conversations.
In the last stage, participants were prompted to reflect on their attitude change before and after the interaction, and share their insights with one another.
Our goal was to inspire visitors to move from passive understanding to active creation with generative AI through hands-on experimentation with ChatGPT. This vision shaped the overarching theme: "Rethinking the Human-AI Relationship: How ChatGPT Fosters New Ways of Thinking and Problem Solving."
Two key principles guided the design:
💡 Active learning: devising cues and activities to promote hands-on experimentation to foster active participation.
💡Social-emotional learning: prompting meaningful reflections and collaborative learning through comparative attitude assessment and encouraging social sharing.
Targeting a general public audience from diverse backgrounds, we curated a range of prompts and activities across different topics.
On the day of the exhibition, our station rapidly became a visitor favorite, with the whiteboard brimming with feedback from enthusiastic participants. Reactions ranged from excitement about technology's newfound capabilities to thoughtful contemplation of its potential drawbacks.
