Abstract:

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) present researchers with the opportunity to enhance their capacity to conduct research. They also present new ways in which researchers might unintentionally breach accepted research ethics and integrity standards, as well as challenges to the notions of knowledge ownership and attribution. This webinar will present a basic introduction to some of the more common AI technologies that have become so prevalent in the modern world, then cover the rigour, ethics, integrity, and data ownership pitfalls to be wary of before discussing the potential open access implications at a time when the demand for knowledge as a resource is so indiscriminate.
