When ChatGPT and other, similar artificial intelligence (AI) tools were opened to the public, academics, researchers, and students started to explore how they might be used to facilitate research. This presentation, led by a DiMenna-Nyselius Library research librarian, will provide an overview of the current state of AI research tools, demonstrate how some of these tools work, and provide an opportunity to discuss how, when, and why they might be useful for academic research.
