Using an AI Agent to Facilitate Student Data Literacy and Exploratory Data-Based Investigations for All

Geoff Freed, Dan Damelin

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM, Mattie Silks

The Concord Consortium is developing an AI-powered agent called DAVAI (Data Analysis through Voice and Artificial Intelligence). This agent will be embedded as a plugin in the Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP). DAVAI interprets verbal and typed commands from blind/low-vision users to perform data transformations in CODAP, generate data representations, and provide text and sonified descriptions of those representations.
