Applications of AI that Every Scholar Can Use

slides ->

• Share tools that use new AI capabilities that are helpful in scholarly work and research. Across both the arts and sciences, we all engage with scholarship as PDFs or Docx files.
• Begin a discussion about responsible AI and the use of AI tools that preserve privacy, account for sustainability and follow practices of open science (open code, open data, open weights).
