AI in Everyday Research

The presenters are not AI specialists by training. Instead, they are researchers from different disciplines who have learned to use AI tools through hands-on, bottom-up experience in their own work. The seminar is therefore grounded in practical use cases and real research contexts, rather than technical or theoretical expertise in artificial intelligence. 

The Presenters

Nicolò Dell’Unto – AI Platforms and Project-Based Workflows 
Nicolò is an archaeologist specialising in digital technologies, 3D visualisation, and data analysis. In his presentation, he provides an overview of different AI platforms and their strengths for various types of tasks. He demonstrates how project-based workspaces can be set up and customised within AI tools, such as ChatGPT, to support more effective, consistent, and purposeful work. The focus is on practical aspects of organising and interacting with AI tools, including how clear instructions and well-structured inputs can improve results. 

Karin Engström – AI for Coding and Data Analysis 
Karin is a bioinformatician working with bioinformatics and omics data. Her presentation addresses how AI tools can be used to support coding and data analysis in research contexts. She discusses different tools for code generation, debugging, and documentation, and how these can be integrated into existing workflows. Particular attention is given to limitations, risks, and considerations related to quality and reproducibility. 

Anna Axmon – AI in Research Funding Applications 
Anna is a statistician and epidemiologist primarily working with register-based studies. In her presentation, she focuses on the use of AI as a practical assistant in the research funding application process. She provides examples of how AI can support the identification and comparison of funding bodies, help structure and summarise texts, and simulate peer-review feedback. The emphasis is on using AI to increase efficiency while maintaining responsibility for the scientific content and overall quality of the application.
