AI Coffee Chat: AI in Psychology - Lessons from GMU's Generative AI Simulator "GlorIA"

About

How do you give online psychology students authentic clinical practice without real patients?

In this AI Coffee Chat, we'll hear from Fernanda Orrego, from Gabriela Mistral University in Chile and their experience with AI Generative Simulator "GlorIA" and how a faculty-led AI project became an institutional asset: a recruitment differentiator, a reputation builder, and a magnet for international partnerships.

The session will cover:
• The origin story: how a landmark 1965 clinical case inspired GlorIA and gave the platform a narrative that travels well to external audiences.
• From classroom tool to institutional asset: positioning simulation-based training as a differentiator in psychology and health education.
• Scaling across borders: lessons from piloting GlorIA with partner institutions in several Latin American countries so far.
• Building partnerships: how the project attracts collaborators, and what other universities can gain through the us of the platform.
• Strategic outlook: where AI-supported, simulation-based training is headed over the next 3–5 years and what it means for institutional positioning.
• Time for Q&A and open discussion
