Artificial Intelligence tools are revolutionizing research across disciplines, offering unprecedented capabilities for writing, data analysis, and knowledge discovery. From automating tedious tasks like literature reviews and data cleaning to uncovering hidden patterns and generating novel hypotheses, AI empowers researchers to work more efficiently and gain deeper insights. This training will focus on AI tools that can be used as research assistants. These AI tools can help researchers brainstorm, draft, process literature, and keep up with their field of study.
