| Interested in using Generative AI in your scientific work processes in a responsible and ethical manner? This block course for PhD students allows for experimenting with generative AI to generate texts, images, and audio that can be used in various scientific contexts, from presentations to publications. PhD students are invited to engage in a problem-based learning setting, tackling concerns and critical topics related to the use of AI-based tools with research data, private data, and output generation, including images, text, short videos, audio, and code. Invited experts will share their knowledge in several hands-on workshops, covering topics such as the generation of scientific illustrations and the customization of AI models in GPTs and bots. Learning objectives ? Hands-on training on using generative AI in a responsible, efficient and professional way in daily scientific work. ? Competencies to deal with limitations, potential pitfalls and benefits of AI-based tools in relation to research integrity and ethics. ? Reflect on manipulation techniques of present and past scientific visualizations techniques. ? Get introduced into synthetic audiovisual data such as deepfakes. ? Use visualization techniques in co-setup with AI-tools to create visual abstracts, thumbnails or graphical abstracts for peer-reviewed publication. ? Practice collaborative workflows with genAI. ? Get familiar with technologies that should help to protect personal or copyrighted data when using AI and apply them to own data. | |
