About this Class

This two-hour virtual roundtable discussion will cover development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots at NIH. A chatbot is a software application or web interface designed to have textual or spoken conversations and may use generative AI systems, and chatbots are being developed at NIH to support both intramural and extramural biomedical research. The program will begin with brief presentations by our panelists, followed by an open discussion.  

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

  • Identify use cases for AI chatbots at NIH
  • Discuss emerging trends and techniques for development of AI chatbots at NIH
  • List resources and tools for learning about, using, and developing AI chatbots at NIH

Attendees are not expected to have any prior knowledge of AI chatbot development.
