Artificial Intelligence Tools: Responsible Use and Applications in Research and Academia / 26-4-AI-2

Content

The rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence tools has the potential to change the way researchers work in academia. This workshop provides a hands-on learning experience with a focus on a wider variety of AI tools, their ethical implications and their practical applications. The aim is to facilitate the responsible and efficient use of AI-based tools in research and academia.

• Understanding the importance of using AI in research and academia and assess the benefits and risks involved
• Craft effective prompts for their research tasks
• Develop strategies to integrate AI tools into their research flow

• Stay informed about and adapt to new developments in the field of AI

• Introduction to AI with a focus on generative AI
• Ethical considerations and responsible use (e.g. data privacy, address biases, best practices)- Guidelines from major journals and institutions on using AI tools in research and academia
• Crafting effective prompts for generative AI
• Practical applications of AI tools in research and academia, e.g.

1. Literature review assistance
2. Data analysis and interpretation
3. Manuscript, grant proposal and conference presentation support
4. Brainstorming research hypotheses
5. Preparing for defence or interviews
6. Developing training material

• Benefits and limitations of implementing AI tools in research and academia
• Future developments and possibilities

This workshop combines trainer presentation and group exercises, providing a balanced learning experience.

Further Information 

Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
