A two-hour Webinar
10th October 2023
Presented by: Dr Kirstin Krauss
The emergence of chatbots and AI-driven research support tools has the potential to challenge, support, and significantly alter our approaches to science and scientific knowledge production. AI tools and chatbots are becoming ingrained in almost all aspects of scientific knowledge production, from supporting topic discovery, scholarly writing, assessment, to addressing theoretical elaboration, disciplinary and contextual relevance, and copyright issues. AI-powered tools can either support or distort our ability to craft arguments in writing. They may affect our ability to defend specific claims in research and assist with topic discovery and information overload. They can strengthen or dilute academic writing.
In this webinar, Dr. Kirstin Krauss introduces emergent cases and challenges associated with AI-supported and AI-authored writing. He reflects on his experiences in generating a mini-thesis using ChatGPT and the prompting that was necessary to do so. He also reflects on how the scholarly community can continue nurturing the integrity and validity of science in the wake of AI, how AI can assist (or not) in different phases of academic writing, and the abilities of generative AI in scientific argumentation and making data-theory links, which should be considered core competencies of scientists.
