Dawn's talk today at @timeshighered #THEdigitalUK included examples of innovative, good practice by researchers within PaCT Lab. She also discussed findings from recent work with PaCT colleagues Dr Richard Brown & @beehivewife around academic & student attitudes towards AI 💡
Honored to speak at @timeshighered Digital Universities UK today, on AI’s role in research. I explored how AI can be used to support (not replace) responsible research & promote good practice. Let’s keep the conversation going! DM me or share any session photos! ✨ #THEdigitalUK
