AI and the Future of Libraries in Virtual Worlds (Presentation Archives)

  • 1.  AI and the Future of Libraries in Virtual Worlds (Presentation Archives)

    Posted Jan 15, 2018 07:26 PM

    Two presentations were shared in 2017 by Shannon Bohle on the topic of Artificial Intelligence, Avatars and Future Digital Citizens.


    On April 19, 2017 the topic was Avatars and Artificial Intelligence.  AI robot, Plutchik, interacted with the ACRL members in attendance in the virtual world of Second Life.


    Returning on August 20th, 2017, Plutchik returned to share information about the future of digital citizenship as part of the Community Virtual Libraries Digital Citizenship Exhibit.  The exhibit closed at the end August and is being built as a Digital Citizenship Museum in the virtual world of Kitely.


    Slides from the presentations can be accessed below. The image file shows the presenter at the podium and Plutchik (bot) is standing to the side at the left.


    Participants asked numerous questions of Plutchik and were given appropriate answers.
