How can AI be used effectively in doctoral research and everyday academic work – and where are the limits and grey areas? In this workshop series participants will have the opportunity to explore different AI applications hands-on and apply them to concrete tasks from their own research and academic work – from structuring and analysing data to working with texts and organising their work.
The in-depth modules in November and December can be booked individually; however, participation in the Kick-off Workshop on 16 October is a prerequisite for attending the Deep Dives.
To kick off the workshop series, participants will explore the basic principles of how generative AI works, its typical potentials and limitations, as well as key questions around data protection and the legal and institutional frameworks governing its use in academic work. Using case studies and participants’ own experiences, the workshop will also address grey areas, transparency, documentation, and academic responsibility when using AI. Participants will then be introduced to basic prompting techniques and have the opportunity to put them into practice using their own examples and the AI tools available to them.
