GEIS brought its VIOLETS: Voter Information from Official Local Election Trusted Sources AI chatbot to Maryland Day on April 25, inviting visitors to ask an AI chatbot about Maryland elections. The demo, led by Giovanni Ciampaglia, Cody Buntain, and PhD student Do Won Kim, drew a strong turnout and sparked conversations about how conversational AI tools can help citizens navigate election information — a preview of the kind of civic-tech work GEIS plans to expand ahead of the midterms.
