Using GenAI tools in graduate research: Considerations and implications | GRTR285

This workshop will explore the emerging role of generative AI (GenAI) tools and how they can support graduate student researchers in different stages of the research lifecycle. The workshop will not focus on how to use specific tools but rather on comparing their general capabilities, considering different use cases, and critically assessing their functionalities and their outputs.

Participants in this workshop will be able to:

• Describe how GenAI tools can impact the research process.

• Define challenges and considerations when using GenAI in academic research.

• Identify some tools that are relevant to literature synthesis for research projects. 

Aeron MacHattie is the Teaching and Research Librarian, as well as History, Irish Studies and English Subject Librarian.

Melissa Rivosecchi is the Head of Vanier Library, as well as Psychology Subject Librarian.
