Synthetic Actors & Conversational AI Agents

LLM technologies offer promising applications in synthetic persona generation for training and simulation. Students interact with dynamic, conversational personas that mimic real-world scenarios instead of passively watching training videos.

Applications

• Medical Education: Synthetic patient personas for practicing informed consent conversations. Guided by the U-ARE framework (Understand, Appreciate, Reason, Express a Choice). Persona types: cooperative, confused, resistant.
• Social Work Training: Interactive vignettes for sensitive scenario training with safeguarded LLM responses.
