WORKSHOP AI AUDITING THROUGH LLM SÉANCE

w/ Natalia Stanusch

In “AI Auditing through LLM Séance,” Natalia will guide you through performing a reverse AI séance on AI models. You’ll learn how to ask the right prompts in the right way to test the algorithmic rationales behind the screen. By doing rather than just thinking, Natalia invites you to critically probe your experience as a user — using memes, collages, writing, and other formats to capture what you discover.

This session is for you if:

1. You’re curious about what’s inside AI’s black-box
2. You don’t have any technical experience but want to poke AI into telling you things about itself </aside>
