How can generative AI be used in humanities research and academic writing in a responsible, reflective and academically sound way? This online workshop series is designed for PhD Candidates and Postdocs who want to develop a sound understanding of how generative AI works, where its limitations and risks lie, and how legal, organizational and academic guidelines shape its use in research contexts.
The first session focuses on basic principles, data protection, academic integrity, transparency, authorship and structured prompting with KI-Chat@JGU.
Between the two sessions, participants will test AI applications in their own research or writing context. The second session builds on these experiences and focuses on prompt refinement, quality assurance and context engineering.
The central question throughout is how AI can support academic work without replacing the researcher’s own intellectual contribution, authorship and argumentative responsibility.
