NEW! AI in Academia: A Masterclass for Higher Degree Students [webinar]
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of academic research. This masterclass offers students the insights and tools to integrate AI effectively into their academic endeavours.
We will explore applications at every stage. Literature reviews can be accelerated by generating summaries of papers or discovering gaps. Experiments can be designed using AI assistants. Data analysis and visualisation can be streamlined through reproducible scripts created with AI guidance.
Teaching and presentations can also benefit. AI can help design activities, voices, and slides. This saves preparation time while boosting impact.
A crucial component of our exploration will be the ethical considerations of AI in research. We’ll discuss potential challenges and emphasise the importance of transparent practices.
This masterclass aims to expand possibilities. AI can boost productivity and creativity. But it should augment human intelligence rather than replace it.
Join us to incorporate AI wisely into your toolkit. This will enrich your research journey by enhancing your capabilities and inspiring new directions.
Requirements: Familiarity with ChatGPT is beneficial. Access to the free version is fine.
