Program 

Navigating this complex landscape requires new skills. Understanding and addressing ethical perspectives when using AI involves not only research integrity, legal aspects, and sustainability but also adhering to requirements from universities and journals.

In this interactive breakfast seminar, Andrea Gasparini will give examples of ethical issues like bias, transparency, privacy, security, and sustainability in the context of the research process (Data Collection and Data Analysis, Writing Process, Publication, Literature Search).

Gasparini will also present results from a survey on the use of AI tools among PhD students to provide additional perspectives on various ethical issues. Finally, the audience will be engaged in discussing dilemmas researchers encounter in this demanding period. 

Baked goods, coffee, and tea will be served. 

The seminar is open to all staff at the University of Oslo. 

We encourage you to join us for this insightful session and engage in the discussion on the future of AI in social science research.

This is primarily a physical workshop where the participants can interact with the speaker, but the event will be streamed for those who would like to watch the event.
