Generative AI is becoming a key tool in research, supporting tasks like literature review, summarization, drafting, and visualization. During this training, you will explore different AI tools to support tasks from literature reviews to content drafting, summarization, and visualization. We will also show how you can leverage AI agents to execute actions based on predefined context and instructions. You will learn how to design effective prompts to generate high-quality outputs and critically assess the reliability of AI-generated content. We will also address ethical considerations, including authorship, ownership, and copyright, ensuring you can leverage generative AI tools to improve your productivity while maintaining academic integrity.
