Artificial Intelligence in research: a co-creation session The past years have witnessed the emergence of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Many researchers already appreciate the added value of these tools, for example for generating summary texts, improving writing styles or generating computer codes. But what about the ethical implications of using these tools in research, and can their outputs be trusted? We invite researchers, technicians, research professionals and others engaged in the University’s research community to join us in a co-creation session. Here, we will explore the challenges we face in responsibly using AI tools in research and we will work together to develop solutions. The most promising ideas will receive funding to be taken forward as co-creation projects at the University. Professor Shannon Vallor, Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) will join this session to introduce the current initiatives and challenge areas for AI in research. This session is open to all engaged in the University’s research community. What to expect at these co-creation sessions for research improvement These co-creation sessions are collaborative workshops where researchers, postgraduate research students, technicians, and research support professional services colleagues from the University of Edinburgh come together to identify current barriers to performing our best research, and to suggest possible solutions which might be piloted in research improvement projects. Participants will work together to: Identify problems related to the session's broad theme Develop possible solutions to these problems Plan research improvement projects to implement these solutions Research improvement teams will be formed during the session by bringing together those with similar priorities. Each team will present their project idea and a winning project will be selected by everyone present at the session. The winning project will be awarded a small budget to enable a team to test the idea. This implementation team will be made up of interested volunteers from all participants, not just the originators of that proposal. The goal of these co-creation sessions is to develop and implement improvements driven by our research community’s priorities. Co-creation sessions are a valuable opportunity for members of the research community to come together and share their ideas on how to improve research at the University of Edinburgh. By participating in a co-creation session, you can have a direct impact on the future of research at the University. Further information This session is part of the University of Edinburgh's Good Research Practice Week, which has been organised by a University wide group.
