AI Café: "Pressure, hype, and research ethics: exploring the potential of generative AI in academic research across social sciences and humanities"

-

I would like to invite you to register to the upcoming AI-Café session with Ola Bonati (Researcher, Storyteller, and Facilitator working on topics that explore the implications of various technologies on our lives and culture) on July 9th, July from 3 – 4 pm CEST.

Description

In this presentation, Ola Bonati will discuss findings from the report  Generative AI in Academic Research across Social Sciences and Humanities recently published by Sound and Vision. The report explores a new angle of AI adoption, from which in-depth interviews helped expose the realities of implementing this technology in an academic setting from the perspective of academic workers. While much attention is being directed to studies of various applications of this technology, the report goes beyond technical requirements to explore the attitudes and support systems essential for mindful and ethical AI use in academia. The presentation will discuss how academic workers are adapting to and shaping the integration of AI in their fields.
