Australasian Research Training Network (ARTN) Event: AI in Higher Degree Research
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of higher degree research (HDR), particularly within the PhD process. From sophisticated data analysis tools to AI-driven literature reviews, these technologies are increasingly becoming integral to the research journey.
In this session we will give a brief overview of what is happening in the sector and showcase examples of how GenAI tools might support and enhance your work in research administration. We will showcase some of the processes and tools that are being taken up at the University of Tasmania, including a GenAI agent tool being piloted for candidate and supervisor support.
The ARTN extends a cordial invitation to members of the AI Special Interest Group to participate in this online meeting.
