Since the arrival of ChatGPT in late 2022, students and researchers have been exploring ways to ethically incorporate generative AI tools into the research lifecycle. This hands-on workshop, provided by the University of Manitoba Centre for Social Science Research and Policy, will delve into this topic, while also detailing ways that generative AI tools can be used responsibly, alongside traditional library resources, to expand and deepen existing research skills. Attendees will leave the session with the skills to seamlessly integrate generative AI into their current research toolkit.
