This session explores the diverse roles Artificial Intelligence can play in academic research. The presentation walks through every stage of the research process, from research question formation and literature review to experimental design. We will highlight use cases collected from across Georgetown that can be replicated using secure tools, and are applicable in both the humanities and the sciences. Furthermore, we will examine qualitative and quantitative research, data analysis, code assistance, digitization, translation, and accessibility. We will ask critical questions about AI's usefulness and limitations, and discuss the necessary guardrails we can implement to keep research rigorous and replicable. Participants will leave equipped with practical strategies and an ethical framework to evaluate AI's usefulness in their own research.
