October 13 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

  • « Leverage Supercomputing Resources for Research and Education with ACCESS & NAIRR
  • Using the National Research Platform (NRP) for AI-enabled Research & Education »

UCLA students, faculty and staff are invited to register for this workshop and discussion of generative AI, its impact on academic research and writing, and comparison to traditional research methods. Led by a UCLA librarian and a UCLA Library instructional designer, this 60-minute workshop will focus on understanding and contextualizing A.I.’s applications and limitations in research tasks, such as developing research topics and questions, identifying and summarizing scholarly sources, and more. Instructors will also discuss various social and ethical issues related to AI use.

This workshop will be offered in person at Charles E. Young Research Library (YRL), Main Conference Room, first floor.
