900: AI-Powered Research Ideation: A Hands-On Workshop (18242)

Discover the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in generating research ideas and conducting literature reviews through our interactive workshop, “AI-Powered Research Ideation.” This 60-minute session is designed for academics seeking innovative teaching methods and enhanced research outcomes, and is based on lessons learned from a successful PhD seminar. We will guide you through practical exercises and cutting-edge AI tool demonstrations. Attendees will engage in generating research ideas using a general-purpose AI tool (chatGPT, Bard, etc.), and then shown how to build on those ideas using several other AI tools, providing a firsthand experience of AI-powered research creativity. The session will begin with an introduction to the original PhD seminar exercise, which educators can readily adapt for their own courses. Participants then explore the potential of AI tools for research idea development and literature searches. Beyond chatGPT, live demonstrations of tools like Scite, Elicit, Semantic Scholar, or others will showcase the possibilities of AI in academic research and the PhD classroom. Students from the PhD seminar will offer valuable insights into how AI transformed their research ideation process. The workshop culminates in a Q&A session, providing an opportunity for attendees to seek additional guidance or share their experiences. Participation in this workshop equips you with practical skills and resources to leverage AI in teaching and research. Enhance your ability to nurture research creativity and innovation in your students leaving with concrete ideas for incorporating AI into your academic practices and teaching.
