Chatbots & the Future of AI for Eating Disorders

About this event

In this presentation, Associate Professor Sharp will outline her experiences working in the field of conversational artificial intelligence (also known as “chatbot”) since 2018. The field
has evolved rapidly in more recent times and A/Prof Sharp will also share her perspectives on the future of this technology in eating disorders.

experiences in her research and is a firm believer in “nothing about us without us”.
