Course details:
The seminar focuses on the practical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the context of research and academic writing. In this introductory seminar you will gain in-depth insights into the opportunities that AI offers researchers.
The workshop content is split into two parts, one covering the use of ChatGPT and prompt engineering, and the second covering the use of other academic AI tools that can be used to aid research and writing. In addition to the opportunities, we will also look at the ethical aspects and risks associated with the use of AI such as questions of copyright and the authenticity of research results.
The seminar aims to provide you with practical knowledge and skills in order to use AI as an effective tool in everyday research. Through interactive elements, such as case studies and group discussions (breakout sessions), you may interact directly with the content and discuss individual questions.
