AI for Researchers: Beyond the Prompt
Virtual
90 mins
Already using generative AI in your research, but wondering how to get more out of it? This practical, interactive workshop goes beyond basic prompting to explore new ways of using AI to support your everyday research activities.
You'll discover how to use AI as a critical thinking partner, experiment with techniques to challenge ideas and solve problems, and create your own mini-AI research assistant to help with a task you regularly undertake. Through live demonstrations and hands-on activities, you'll apply these approaches to your work and leave with practical techniques you can use independently.
Format: Live, interactive online workshop with demonstrations and individual activities.
Level: Intermediate. This is not an introduction to generative AI, and no technical or coding experience is required.
What to bring: Access to a generative AI tool approved by your institution and an everyday research task or challenge you'd like to work on.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Use AI to challenge assumptions, explore alternative perspectives, and develop your thinking.
Apply practical AI techniques to support problem-solving and everyday research activities.
Create a simple, reusable AI research assistant to support routine research tasks.
Test and refine AI-generated outputs using appropriate instructions and quality checks.
Identify opportunities to integrate new AI techniques into your existing research practices.
