Session Information

Session Description

This workshop is designed for faculty, trainees, and researchers who want to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) tools into their academic and professional work. Participants will be introduced to practical strategies for accessing and navigating widely available AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT), with a focus on generative text and image applications. The session will cover how to write effective prompts, refine outputs, and tailor AI responses to meet academic and research needs. Attendees will gain hands-on experience generating both text and image outputs, learning skills that can be directly applied to drafting manuscripts, preparing teaching materials, creating visuals, and enhancing scholarly productivity. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the tools and techniques to confidently use AI in ways that they can bring back and apply at their own institutions.
