Module Description

Explore how generative AI can be used across research workflows. You’ll examine both the possibilities and limitations of these tools, practice using AI for research tasks, and consider how to use it intentionally, critically, and responsibly. Along the way, you’ll explore questions around privacy, bias, transparency, reproducibility, and disclosure of AI use.


Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Identify potential uses and limitations of generative AI across the research workflow
  • Describe the core LLM mechanics to evaluate and select appropriate AI models for specific research needs
  • Evaluate considerations for using generative AI critically and responsibly in research
  • Document and disclose the use of generative AI in research workflows and outputs
  • Apply generative AI tools to support specific research tasks
