CAIRO Lab is looking for participants for a study on using an AI-based chatbot to complete tasks. You must be a CU Boulder student who is over 18 years old, and you will receive $15 for participating in a 45- to 60-minute-long study.
The purpose of this research is to improve the implementation and use of chatbots that are based on artificial intelligence.
