Hello, and welcome to the workshop on AI, Supervision and Thesis writing!

We'll be on 21:239 Stormen, Wednesday 30th of October, between 13:00-16:00

The workshop will delve into how AI tools can possibly enhance and support students’ thesis writing process and the accompanying supervision. We will explore practical applications of AI in the context, by looking at AI feedback and AI-generated research insights and simultaneously discuss complicated challenges and limitations that typically appear.

To make the most of this workshop, please bring your laptop or tablet.

If you have any questions, please email the workshop facilitator, Wilhelmina Statham, at wilhelmina.statham@speldesign.uu.se

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
