You will learn how to design effective prompts to generate high-quality outputs and critically assess the reliability of AI-generated content. We will also address ethical considerations, including authorship, ownership, and copyright, ensuring you can leverage generative AI tools to improve your productivity while maintaining academic integrity.

Learning outcomes

  • Explain generative AI principles and their relevance to research
  • Identify capabilities and limitations of key tools
  • Apply prompt engineering for scholarly tasks
  • Use AI tools for literature reviews, drafting, and visualization
  • Discuss ethics, authorship, and copyright
  • Plan research workflows integrating generative AI

AI methods used

This training focuses on generative AI models, particularly large language models and researcher-oriented tools (e.g. chat-based assistants, literature discovery, and summarisation platforms) used to support scholarly workflows. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how these tools generate outputs, how to use them effectively, and their key limitations in research contexts.
