Our primary focus for the week:

• host a workshop to test out the ideas and receive feedback from participants.

Workshop

The workshop included three participants from the age group 20-25. Before getting on with the activities planned for the workshop — listening activity, storyboarding and role-playing scenario, my teammates introduced the participants to the project to set the context of the workshop.

Listening Activity

To gain insights into the perception of AI-generated voices, we conducted an engaging experiment with our participants. The experiment involved playing a series of 14 audio clips and asking the participants to classify each clip as either sounding like AI, human, or indiscernible.

Main Finding

• Remarkably, in 48% of the instances, participants erroneously identified AI-generated voices as human.

Storyboarding Exercise

In our engaging storyboard exercise, participants were encouraged to delve into their current experiences with AI and envision its future involvement in our lives. The objective was twofold: to understand the existing presence of AI in their daily routines and to speculate on its forthcoming integration into various aspects of our lives.
