Description

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our daily lives, as its integration is profound. This also applies to the academic environment, where the possible applications of AI seem almost limitless. But how can AI be used effectively in academic studies? What specific applications are there?

In this workshop, I will highlight various ways in which AI can be used in academia, including translation, data collection and analysis, presentation creation, and research work. I will also discuss the limitations and challenges that can arise when using AI.

Incidentally, this text was created and revised using ChatGPT and DeepL Write – would you have noticed?
