Description:
This two-hour workshop will explore what Gen AI tools exist that are helpful for researchers and how we can use them to optimise research processes. It is a workshop for Gen AI beginners, not Gen AI experts. We will explore a range of mainstream Gen AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Co-Pilot) and research specific ones (e.g. SciSpace, Research Rabbit, Elicit) and examine how they work through hands-on tasks. By the end of the workshop, you will feel confident in what Gen AI can do (and what it can’t!), how to prompt engineer for research tasks, and the ethics of using Gen AI as a researcher.
The course will take place on Teams or Zoom on the 3rd of July from 13:00 to 15:00.
Pre-requisites
This is an entry-level course, no previous knowledge and no prior reading is required.
The session will only use free GenAI tools.
