How to Use Gen AI: A Beginners Workshop for Researchers

This two-hour and 30-minute workshop will explore what Gen AI tools exist that are helpful for researchers and how we can use them to optimise research processes.

It is a workshop for Gen AI beginners, not Gen AI experts.

We will explore a range of mainstream Gen AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Co-Pilot) and research-specific ones (e.g. Sc iSpace, Research Rabbit, Elicit) and examine how they work through hands-on tasks.

By the end of the workshop, you will feel confident in what Gen AI can do (and what it can’t!), how to prompt engineer for research tasks, and the ethics of using Gen AI as a researcher.
