doc.schools meet... GPTs in Research and Higher Education

28.11.2023 16:30 - 29.11.2023 18:30

About the Event
The impact of AI tools can be seen in various areas, whether it be science, culture, politics or communication. ChatGPT has become a frequently used resource in many people’s lives and much attention is now drawn to possibilities and obstacles of large language models. But which implications does this change have for the academic world?

In the upcoming edition of our doc.schools meet… panel discussion our invited panelists with various backgrounds will shed light on this matter with regards to GPTs in research and higher education. The panelists will discuss questions such as:

  • What is the potential of GPTs in STEM Research and Higher Education?
  • What are the limitations you see?
  • How should we adapt our research/teaching to the recent progress in AI?
