AI Tools for Research (DIGI-ME)

AI Tools for Research is an informal presentation and discussion with Ismael Al-Amoudi, Professor at the Grenoble Ecole de Management, which took place on Tuesday 21 April from 14:00–15:30 (CET). 

A central objective of this workshop is to foster a shared understanding of when and how such tools can be useful, while also recognising the differences and specificities across researchers and research traditions. The workshop’s activities have included inviting guest speakers to address both technological developments and concrete societal and ethical issues. Notably, it has also featured an ongoing, multi-session discussion focused on benchmarking several generative AI tools, with particular attention to their relevance for research practices.
