These tools have included conversational agents (CAs) and chatbots, as well as tools for text and video-based content and emotion analysis. These tools will have a variety of implications for the way that we conduct and study team science, including, but not limited to, the technological readiness of teams, the ways that teams and team scientists conduct research, and the composition of teams. This talk will present an accessible introduction to and overview of artificial intelligence (AI), neural networks, and machine learning technologies that can (and could in the future) be applied to the science of team science. As CAs are one of the most popular types of these technologies, I will explore technologies including various tools Author: for conversational assistant/chatbot technologies from IBM Watson and Stephanie Vasko Dialogflow (formerly API.AI), along with applications of these technologies (Michigan State to team science and community engagement (Vasko, 2017 presentation).
