Workshop: Navigating as a Researcher in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Workshop: Navigating as a Researcher in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is on the threshold of impacting every life science and medical researcher. Are you ready to open the door?

Join us at the workshop to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, and specifically large language models, in basic diabetes and classical endocrinology research and its clinical applications.

Through collaborative debates facilitated by experts in AI, you will delve into significant questions and conflicting opinions. Additionally, you will gain hands-on experience with AI-based tools and acquire the skills to enhance the efficiency of your daily work, whether you work in the lab, the clinic, or the office, allowing you to concentrate on your scientific pursuits.

Throughout the two-day workshop, we aim to demystify AI, clarify misunderstandings, instil trust, and promote the responsible use of AI.

In this comprehensive workshop, we will explore the profound impact of AI on diabetes and classical endocrinology research. Through engaging debates and hands-on sessions, participants will acquire practical skills and insights. The program includes sessions on:

  • preparing for and engaging in debates
  • understanding the applications of large language models in healthcare
  • immersive hands-on experiences with AI tools

Participants will be coached by experts and will:

  • learn about the benefits and limitations of AI in general and LLMs
  • learn to build effective prompts
  • engage in brainstorming with generative AI
  • learn to enhance their writing and ideation processes
  • learn to create visualizations and engage in visual brainstorming.

The overarching goal is to demystify AI, clarify potential risks, and acquire new skills, ensuring that the participants become equipped with the knowledge and skills to integrate AI seamlessly into their research.

In an effort to extend the immediate outcome to others, the workshop’s debates will be compiled into a report and audio recordings to be shared with the research community. Participants will be invited to contribute to these efforts after the workshop, if they wish.
