Walk the Talk AI Booking Bot
Indiana Wesleyan University, Machine Learning Course
Objective

To practice deep interviewing, AI prompt engineering, and AI system design by building a working Speaker's Bureau booking bot as a graded team project.

Process

Interviewed teammates to uncover their passions beyond the resume, used generative AI to write rousing TED Talk introductions and professional speaker profiles, compiled the profiles into a knowledge base, and built a booking agent in Google AI Studio with a strict system prompt grounded only in that data. The team then produced the marketing and process infographics entirely with AI tools and demonstrated the bot live in class with unscripted audience queries.

Tools

Google AI Studio, generative AI assistants for interview synthesis and speaker profiles, AI image generation for both infographics.

Value Proposition

Proves hands-on skill in prompt engineering, grounding a chatbot in custom data, and pairing a working AI product with AI-generated marketing, from discovery interviews to a live demo.

Case Study · Ethics
AI Ethics in Practice — The Amazon Recruiting Case
Indiana Wesleyan University, AIML-500 Machine Learning Fundamentals
DETECTION ACTION THE GOVERNANCE GAP
Objective

To critically analyze a real-world AI ethics incident and identify systemic governance failures relevant to enterprise AI deployment.

Process

Selected the 2018 Amazon AI recruiting tool bias incident from the AI Incident Database. Analyzed three ethical issues: training data bias from historical hiring patterns, failure to act after internal bias detection in 2015, and lack of transparency with affected candidates.

Tools

AI Incident Database, Reuters investigative reporting, Claude (Anthropic) for structural organization, AIML-500 course frameworks on data ethics and model governance.

Value Proposition

Demonstrates the ability to move beyond technical bias detection toward governance design. The key insight: Amazon's failure was not discovering bias. It was the absence of an institutional process for deciding what to do when bias is found.
