Generative AI Tutorials: Generative AI for Visualization

This session is part of the 2025-2026 Generative AI tutorial series hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data & AI in Society (MIDAS)

About: This session focuses on the use of generative AI tools/agents to produce visualizations. We will go over the use of different tools for automating the construction of descriptive, analytical, and communicative visualizations. The session will cover prompting approaches for construction, ideation, and evaluation. The topics will be largely practical, with a touch of theory to help you understand how to judge the quality of visualizations and guide the tools toward better results.
