Description

The discussion is arranged around the following main themes:

  • A short introduction to LLMs and generative AI
  • Practical cases of use generative AI in the research project lifecycle: brainstorming and planning, data analysis (software and code), publishing
  • Responsible use of generative AI, ethical and legal considerations
     

We will cover topics such as: generative AI tools for researchers, prompt engineering, "chat with PDFs", software tools for large language models, open-source large language models, limitations of these approaches, other AI tools useful in research (e.g. automatic transcriptions), upcoming AI-related legislation. Come join this discussion!

Who can participate?

The webinar is aimed at staff and students who are interested in a basic introduction to AI in research work. The session offers a broad overview on the topic rather than providing details on any discipline-specific solutions. No prior knowledge of AI is required. Some information covered in the session, such as details of Aalto’s RDM services, is relevant only to those working at Aalto.
