About the talk

AI is the most recent in a collection of technological innovations that have gradually been changing underlying relationships between researchers and their research. AI will change the space yet further and faster than previous technological innovations have done.

This talk will propose tools and techniques as well as tackle current questions, such as:
  • How can I support faculty using AI to deliver trustworthy, impactful research outcomes?
  • How can we build confidence in AI?
  • How can I embed AI in research workflows?
