This introductory course will give you a detailed insight into the possibilities that AI offers to researchers. The content of the workshop is divided into two parts, with the first part covering the use of ChatGPT and Prompting Engineering and the second part covering the use of other academia-specific AI tools. We will explore both the many benefits and challenges of using AI.
Understand how to use Large Language Models, such as ChatGPT, to improve efficiency in research and academic writing. Explore ethical implications and practical challenges of AI use in academic settings. Learn prompting techniques and identify best scenarios for integrating AI into writing workflows. Interactive presentations and discussions, Hands-on exercises with ChatGPT, Real-world case studies.
