Chaat GPT

​ChaatGPT is an AI-powered Holi celebration combining food, play, and ideas. Eat chaat—India’s iconic street food—and generate your very own combination of chaat condiments & add-ins with our open-source ChaatBOT based on your personality and taste (no personal data will be stored).

​Playful on the surface but serious underneath, the program includes a short workshop, presented by artist Prashast Thapan, examining how open and closed AI models differ, with attention to transparency and data literacy. Rather than promoting any platform, the event invites participants to better understand how these systems work and the choices available when deciding whether and how to engage with them.

​Expect color, music, and dance for the whole family.

​Please note: RSVP is for AI Workshop at 3:00 p.m. Chaat is available first-come, first-served.

​Following this, join us at 4:00 p.m. for a screening of the classic Bollywood film Silsila, starring global superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha in their final film together, and featuring the now iconic Holi song “Raang barse” (ticket purchase required).
