This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
Advance registration is required.
This workshop will explore the emerging role of generative AI (GenAI) tools and how they can support graduate student researchers in different stages of the research lifecycle. The workshop will not focus on how to use specific tools but rather on comparing their general capabilities, considering different use cases, and critically assessing their functionalities and their outputs.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe how GenAI tools can impact the research process.
- Define challenges and considerations when using GenAI in academic research.
- Identify some tools that are relevant to literature synthesis for research projects.
