Generative AI, productivity, AI tools, prompting techniques
Course Description: 

In this workshop, doctoral candidates will acquire knowledge and tools to simplify their daily work with generative AI applications, automate repetitive tasks, and increase their productivity.

The workshop will provide a basic understanding of how generative AI works and its limitations in everyday work. In particular, we will learn prompting techniques to understand and improve interaction with AI models. We will apply various AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity.ai, etc.) to explore their use in daily work and discuss their applications.

Course aims: 
  • Understand the basics of generative AI
  • Learn prompting techniques
  • Explore AI tools and applications
Teaching methods: 

Presentations, Hands-on sessions, Interactive discussions.

This course fits doctoral candidates in the following phase: 

At the beginning of the doctorate │ during the doctorate │ at the end of the doctorate

Participation requirements: 

None.

Technical requirements: 

Please bring your laptop.

Course preparation: 
  • Try out tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity.ai, or other similar platforms to get a basic understanding of how they work.
  • Reflect on your daily work as a doctoral candidate and identify tasks that are repetitive, time-consuming, or could be optimized.
