Generative AI tools excel in learning patterns from existing data, providing invaluable support to researchers. They aid in exploring and comprehending academic literature, summarizing extensive bodies of work, drafting scientific papers, generating novel ideas, and guiding experimental design and analysis. As our understanding of AI evolves, it’s crucial for students, faculty, and teaching staff to utilize these tools responsibly. Transparency about their use in the writing process is essential to ensure ethical practices.

In this 4-hours intensive webinar, participants will deepen their understanding of the opportunities and challenges inherent in employing AI tools within the research process; they will acquaint themselves with a diverse array of research-related AI tools, each offering unique functionalities aimed at augmenting the research processes and fostering efficiency. Moreover, emphasis will be placed on considering and evaluating the ethical implications associated with the utilization of these tools within a research context. During the webinar, we’ll demonstrate the practical application of various tools like Elicit, Semantic Scholar, SciSpace, Copilot and others. Attendees will gain insights into how these tools can be effectively utilized in their research endeavors.
