AI in Literature Reviews: Opportunities, Limitations, and Good Practices

About the workshop

This course focuses on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the literature review process. We will explore various AI technologies that can support you in discovering, organizing, and synthesizing academic literature. You will discover how AI can streamline literature searches, enhance review quality, and support data integration across different stages of your research.
During this workshop, we will explore how AI-powered tools can assist with tasks such as filtering through the literature, summarizing key findings, and identifying research gaps and concepts. Ethical considerations, including concerns around bias, data privacy, and academic integrity in automated literature reviews, will also be discussed.
This seminar aims to equip you with practical skills and knowledge to effectively incorporate AI tools into your literature review process. Through interactive elements, live demonstrations, and group discussions, you will have the opportunity to engage with the content and explore AI’s potential in a hands-on way.
