Content | In this workshop, we will introduce various AI tools that can be particularly helpful for the scientific work, such as literature research and understanding scientific articles. We will not only highlight the potentials but also the limitations of these tools. You are cordially invited to participate with a digital device (tablet, PC, or smartphone) to try out the presented tools. Furthermore, we look forward to an open discussion on the topic of artificial intelligence in research and education. |
