Veranstaltungsdaten

Event language: English

The seminar is dedicated to the increasingly important role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academic research and writing.

In this introductory seminar you will gain an in-depth insight 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. We will explore both the many benefits and challenges of using AI. In particular, this includes creative support in the conception and formulation of scientific papers. In addition to the opportunities, we will also look at the ethical aspects and risks associated with the use of AI. This includes questions of copyright and the authenticity of research results. 

The aim of the seminar is to provide you with practical knowledge and skills so that you can use AI as an effective tool in your day-to-day research. Through interactive elements, such as case studies and group discussions, you will have the opportunity to interact directly with the content and discuss individual questions.
