Using Generative AI for Academic Research and Writing with Copilot

This workshop will provide a practical demonstration of using Copilot, an AI generative tool powered by GPT-4 and the Microsoft Bing Search Engine. The focus will be on exploring how this tool can support academic research and writing. During the workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience with the research process. This will include activities such as identifying a research topic, conducting a literature review, drafting a research paper, and creating a presentation outline. Furthermore, we will delve into the critical evaluation of AI-generated tools in the context of supporting academic research works.
